Description
Although our knowledge of mood disorders is expanding, comparatively little is known about bipolar depression in particular.
This book offers the most up-to-date information about the diagnosis, treatment, and research surrounding bipolar depression.
Early chapters provide diagnostic information and review the course, outcome and genetics of this heritable condition.
The book gives a thorough and unique overview of the neurobiology of the disorder, including neuroimaging work.
Several chapters delineate the treatment of bipolar depression in special populations such as children and pregnant women.
Furthermore, the particular issues of suicide, focusing on the need for assessment during both acute and maintenance treatment, are addressed.
Finally, acute and long-term treatment strategies for bipolar depression are discussed, including both traditional and novel therapeutics, as well as non-pharmacological treatments.
This volume offers researchers and clinicians key insights into this devastating disorder.
