Depression A Multimedia Sourcebook

Some degree of depression is commonly experienced by such a broad spectrum of the population, that depression can be viewed as the common cold of psychological disorders. But there is more to depression than its psychological aspects; there are also biochemical aspects. This book provides readers with multifaceted information spanning more than seven decades about depression: what it is, what causes it, and what can be done to overcome it. With the aid of a comprehensive subject index, this book provides easy-to-access facts and where to look for more detailed information. It not only refers the reader to traditional information such as books and articles, but also to online databases, CD-ROM, and videocassettes. An author index and list of acronyms serve to further assist the reader. Although doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and sociologists are the intended audience, there is something in this volume for virtually anyone interested in depression.Miletich, John J. is the author of 'Depression A Multimedia Sourcebook' with ISBN 9780313293740 and ISBN 0313293740.
