A reader-friendly yet in-depth overview of the latest research on
mood as the way we are tuned to the world.
This book examines the central role that mood plays in determining
our outlook on life and our ability to cope with its challenges.
The central theme is that mood determines how we are tuned to the
world. Tuning emerges over the course of our earliest development
as environmental and genetic influences form the neural circuits
and set how they function across the lifespan in daily life and
under conditions of stress. How each person is tuned becomes the
basis for resilience or vulnerability to events. Some will take
events in stride; others may become angry, anxious, or sad.
A child psychiatrist with decades of clinical experience treating
patients, the author stresses that relationships play a central
role in shaping our mood. Security or insecurity, loss or the fear
of loss of key relationships, especially in childhood, can have
telling effects on the way we view the world.
A chapter is devoted to each of the disorders where mood is a
central issue: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and
antisocial disruptive disorders. The author then discusses the
various "talking therapies" and the main classes of medication
often administered to treat emotional disturbances. Burke concludes
by summarizing the latest research on preventing mood disorders and
discussing the impact that illness can have on emotional well-being
and the role of mood in resilience and recovery.
