Psychiatrists and other mental health care and medical professionals can now turn to a truly authoritative, up-to-date reference for current information about mood disorders. The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders - including a wealth of illustrations, tables and references - presents the state of the art in diagnosis, psychobiology, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy across the vast spectrum of mood disorders: Symptomatology and Epidemiology: * Historical aspects and social underpinnings of mood disorders.* Classification and rating scales.* Global burden (the high costs of depression and bipolar disorder). Pathogenesis: * Neurochemistry and psychoneuroendocrinology.* Cognitive processing models (experimental cognitive research).* Evolutionary explanations (the normal role of low mood in disengaging individuals from goals they cannot reach). Methods of Investigation: * Anatomical pathology (strengths and limitations of human postmortem studies).* Molecular and cellular neurobiology of severe mood disorders (abnormalities in the regulation of signaling).* Genetics of bipolar and unipolar disorders.
