متن يادداشت

Machine generated contents note: 1 What is depression? -- Depression ranges from a 'normal' mood state through -- to distinct clinical syndromes and disorders. The princi- -- pal features of these sub-types are noted. -- 2 Depression, a common experience -- If depression is common, does it have a purpose? Possible -- adaptive explanations are considered. -- 3 Depression classification -- The lack of a laboratory test for depression and for -- distinguishing important clinical sub-types has led to -- simplified approaches to classification. The failure to -- concede separate depressive sub-types and their different -- responses to varying treatments has led to inappropriate -- management strategies. -- 4 'Clinical' depression -- The 'patterns' and clinical features that distinguish -- normal depression and non-melancholic depression from -- melancholic and psychotic depression, in particular, are -- detailed. -- 5 Unipolar and bipolar disorders -- The distinction between unipolar and bipolar disorders -- is explored. -- 6 General features of depression and bipolar -- disorders: the experience -- Rather than defining features common to most expres- -- sions of depression, here features specific to or more -- likely to occur within separate depressive conditions are -- described. Common clinical features experienced by or -- observed in patients who experience 'highs' are also -- described. -- 7 Post-natal mood disorders -- Features distinguishing maternity blues, post-natal -- depression and puerperal psychotic states are noted. -- 8 Grief: the experience -- Grief is not depression, but more an expression of sep- -- aration anxiety or distress. Grief may, however, precede -- and overlap with depression. The management of grief -- is rarely the same as for depression. -- 9 Personality styles and non-melancholic depression -- Certain personality and temperament styles are over- -- represented in those who develop non-melancholic -- depression, increasing the chance of developing such -- conditions and also of maintaining episodes. Treating -- and preventing new episodes often benefit from modi- -- fication of personality style. -- 10 Stress and depressive sub-types -- While 'stress' can impact on each 'type' of depression, -- links are quite variable. The relevance of stress is con- -- sidered. -- 11 Four vignettes -- By using four vignettes, readers consider the roles of -- biological, social and other influences on each depressive -- sub-type. -- 12 The biology of depression -- In depressive disorders, chemical and neuronal transmis- -- sion is disrupted in various ways depending on the -- depressive sub-type. Broad mechanisms explaining how -- physical, psychological and social interventions may -- assist are briefly overviewed. -- 13 Professional assessment -- This chapter details what a patient should expect from -- assessment and management by a professional. -- 14 Drug treatments -- The various drugs used for managing mood disorders are -- listed, and the view that all antidepressant drugs are -- equally effective is challenged. Speed of action and need -- for maintenance medication are considered. -- 15 Electroconvulsive Therapy and Transcranial -- Magnetic Stimulation -- Details about each of these physical treatments are pro- -- vided, together with consideration of their roles, their -- advantages and how tolerable they are to patients. -- 16 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy -- The rationale, elements and application of this type of -- psychotherapy are considered. -- 17 Interpersonal Therapy -- The theoretical basis and elements of this type of psy- -- chotherapy are detailed. -- 18 Psychotherapies and counselling -- The defining characteristics of each treatment approach -- are described. -- 19 Anger management -- Those who externalise stress when depressed with bursts -- of anger may feel better but those around them may feel -- worse. Anger management is described. -- 20 Matching the treatment to the depression -- The 'one size fits all' view of depression suggests that -- antidepressant treatments work for all types of de- -- pression. This simplistic view is rejected. Treatment -- effectiveness for differing depressive sub-types is -- explored. -- 21 Living with someone with depression -- The effects of depression on family and friends are -- considered together with how they can help. -- Appendix: Mood disorders, the artistic temperament -- and worldly 'success'.
