As a physician who personally suffers from depression, Susan J.
Noonan draws on her own expertise and empathy to create a guide for
people who suffer from the disease. Explaining the basics of mental
health-including sleep hygiene, diet and nutrition, exercise,
routine and structure, and avoiding isolation - "Managing Your
Depression" empowers people to participate in their own care,
offering them a better chance of getting, and staying, well.
Noonan's depression management strategies draw on the best
available educational resources, psychoeducational programs,
seminars, expert health care providers, and patient experiences.
The book is specifically designed to be highly readable for people
who are finding it difficult to focus and concentrate during an
episode of depression. Cognitive exercises and daily worksheets
help track progress and response to therapy and provide valuable
information for making treatment decisions. A relapsing and
remitting condition, depression affects nearly 15 percent of people
in the United States. "Managing Your Depression" will bring
depression management strategies to people who do not have access
to mental health programs or who want to learn new skills.
Poor clinical trial designs result in failed studies wasting
research funds and limiting the advancement of cures for disorders.
Clinical Trial Design Challenges in Mood Disorders outlines classic
problems researchers face in designing clinical trials and
discusses how best to address them for the most definitive and
generalizable results. Traditional trial designs are included as
well as novel analytic techniques. The book examines information on
high placebo response, the generalizability of studies conducted in
the developing world, the duration of maintenance studies, and the
application of findings into clinical practice. With representation
from contributors throughout the world and from academia, industry,
regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups, this book will contribute
toward improved clinical trial design and valid, precise, and
reliable answers about what works better and faster for patients.
Although antidepressants have helped millions worldwide, a
substantial proportion of patients fail to respond or remit. There
is little published information available to clinicians for
diagnosis and management of treatment-resistant depression, causing
them to make difficult decisions regarding treatment options with
very limited data. The editors and their internationally
distinguished team of contributors have set out to address this
problem, giving a critical assessment of all aspects of
treatment-resistant depression: causes, epidemiology, comorbidity,
evaluation, and treatment. This timely book will be invaluable to
clinicians, neuroscientists, researchers, and graduate students.
Grounded in current knowledge about bipolar disorder and its
treatment, this book presents an empirically supported therapy
program with step-by-step guidelines for implementation.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for bipolar disorder is
specifically designed for clients who have experienced many mood
episodes and who struggle with chronic, pervasive depressive and
residual manic symptoms. The authors provide everything needed to
conduct the 12 weekly group sessions, which are supplemented by
regular individual sessions. Reproducible tools include 29 client
handouts and an Instructor Checklist. Purchasers get access to a
companion website featuring downloadable audio recordings of the
guided mindfulness practices (meditations and mindful movement),
plus the reproducible materials, ready to download and print in a
convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. A separate website for use by clients
features the audio recordings only.
