In this unique title, the full range of chronic respiratory
conditions and their association with psychiatric comorbidities are
explored and targeted management options are outlined. Indeed
recent studies indicate a far higher prevalence of depression and
anxiety in patients afflicted with chronic respiratory conditions
than in patients with other chronic disorders. Unlike other
publications in the field of pulmonary disease, Depression and
Anxiety in Patients with Chronic Respiratory Diseases details this
significant correlation. The book is comprehensive in scope,
covering such topics as depression and anxiety across the age
spectrum, diagnostic tools for anxiety and depression, anxiety and
depression in COPD patients, depression and anxiety in adult
patients with asthma, and end-stage lung disease and lung
transplantation, among others. In this novel work, the volume
Editors enlist a team of renowned experts in the fields of
respiratory and psychiatric disorders to combine a thorough
synthesis of the literature with targeted, practical strategies for
management. Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Chronic
Respiratory Diseases is an invaluable resource for all clinicians
who care for patients with chronic and advanced lung diseases.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects millions of
people across the world. COPD is not only a major burden to
patients but is also costly and results in billions of dollars of
direct and indirect costs annually. In recent years and with
advancement of science, the understanding of COPD has improved
significantly. Fortunately, current management guidelines consider
COPD a preventable and treatable condition, and recent studies
clearly indicate that available pharmacological and
non-pharmacological interventions may improve various clinical
outcomes. COPD: A Guide to Diagnosis and Clinical Management offers
an exciting, evidence-based assessment of the field and will be of
significant interest to clinicians who care for patients with COPD,
including primary care providers and specialists. Comprehensive and
state-of-the-art, this title is authored by experts who took the
task of developing a resource that focuses on the essential issues
in caring for patients with COPD. The first four chapters of the
book cover major points about the systemic nature of COPD, the
clinical and physiological assessments, and the outcome measures
and prognostic markers. In the following section, various
pharmacologic and non-pharmacological management strategies are
reviewed based on the available evidence. The final sections
outline the non-pulmonary effects of COPD and their management.
COPD: A Guide to Diagnosis and Clinical Management is a vital,
evidence-based text that will prove invaluable for all clinicians
