Straightforward and easy to read yet thorough and accurate, this
book provides a complete overview of depression that describes the
historical background of clinical depression, the various types of
mood disorders, and their impact on the health and well-being of
people and society. Depression is a serious health issue that
affects a greater proportion of people than many would suspect. A
recent report by the World Health Organization stated that
depression is the predominant cause of illness and disability for
those age 10 to 19 worldwide, and more than 40 percent of U.S.
college students reported experiencing symptoms of depression.
Written by a clinical psychologist who has treated depressed
patients and has also taught and done research in the clinical area
for more than 40 years, this book presents the best and most
current information that is available about depression that covers
general background, theory, research results, and treatment methods
in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. The book discusses
the various different types of mood disorders and what their impact
is on the health and well-being of people and society. It helps
readers to understand how those who are depressed suffer, what it
feels like, and how their symptoms affect their daily lives. One
chapter of the book is dedicated to answering a very common
question regarding depression: "Who gets it, and why?" Many major
and different types of depression are covered, including adjustment
disorder with depressed mood, atypical depression, depressive
personality disorder, dysthymic disorder, major depressive
disorder, postpartum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder,
seasonal affective disorder, and unipolar depression. The final
chapter of the book draws conclusions based on the information
presented, identifies effective treatments for depression, and
suggests ways that individuals can cope with depression.
