Antidepressant Therapy at the Dawn of the Third Millennium

Depressive conditions and disorders have become far more widely recognised among non-sychiatric physicians, and the subject of much research among psychiatrists. This book, written by psychiatrists at the forefront of this research, is a presentation of the most up-to-date ideas in antidepressant therapy. Covering the mechanisms of antidepressant agents, as well as clinical and therapeutic considerations, the contributors present recent experimental evidence in support of their discussions. The result is a collection of chapters which will be of great interest to all those involved in the expanding field of antidepressant therapy and in the treatment of depressive disorders.
