Fundamentals of Clinical Psychopharmacology provides up-to-date,
evidence-based and unbiased information about psychopharmacology.
It spans the range of the discipline, from mode of action and side
effects of drugs to meta-analyses of clinical trials. It is
anchored to practice guidelines produced by the UK National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the British
Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP). Care has been taken to
provide an international perspective that makes it equally useful
to practitioners in the US and other countries. The book grew out
of BAP courses that set the standard for professional
psychopharmacological education in the UK. This latest edition is
fully updated and provides, in a concise and easy-to-read format,
key facts about currently used psychotropic drugs, set in the
context of the neuroscience of the disorders they treat. It also
includes a new chapter on the principles of psychiatric
prescribing. Key references, including the clinical studies
discussed, are provided at the end of the chapter along with
suggestions for further reading. Intended to be a frequently
updated, affordable, concise and practical resource, it meets the
needs of trainees and practitioners seeking to keep abreast of the
state of the art in psychopharmacology.
Depression is a common mood disorder that affects approximately 10%
of the global population at some point in their lives and can cause
serious psychological, physical, and cognitive distress.
Additionally, patients with depression are at a greater risk for
cardiovascular disease, stroke, functional impairment, disability
and all-cause mortality. Aside from the impact on the individual,
this condition presents a very real economic burden, as depression
is the most predominant mental health problem among working-age
patients and the leading cause of lost work productivity. Despite
advances in screening and treating depression in recent decades, a
vast majority of patients with depression do not actively seek
treatment and, of those that do, only a quarter have been found to
receive adequate and effective interventions. Handbook of
Depression, Second Edition is a concise review of assessment tools,
available and emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological
treatment options, and consensus management guidelines that center
on enhancing the clinician-patient relationship and improving
patient quality of life. Cowritten by expert US- and UK-based
authors, this handbook has an innovative global focus that
consolidates current knowledge in a convenient, pocket-sized guide
that is ideal for every day reference in a clinical setting.
An estimated 21 million people are diagnosed each year with a major
depressive disorder in the USA, Western Europe and Japan. The
economic cost of depression and its impact on sufferers and those
around them is enormous. There are numerous therapy choices
available, which can be daunting for the clinician trying to
achieve the best treatment regimen. "Managing Depression in
Clinical Practice" provides a concise overview of the clinical
manifestation, diagnosis and management of this debilitating
condition. The book gives practical coverage of depression in
special populations, the management of treatment non-response and
long-term treatment. "Managing Depression in Clinical Practice" is
intended as an accessible text for family practitioners and
psychiatrists in training and in practice. It will also be of
interest to specialist nurses and allied health professionals
working in the field.
