SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This user-friendly handbook provides a practical update to all aspects of depression where changes are occurring. It presents an accessible summary of the key areas of development within their field of expertise. In addition, they discuss five of the most common questions - including questions regularly put to them by patients attending their clinics, and also questions and concerns that practitioners themselves have. Targeted at practicing psychiatrists and interested GP's, the emphasis throughout is on the practical issues, making this a timely and useful book that will facilitate the transition from evidence-based medicine to day-to-day clinical practice.
