Overcoming Depression 3rd edition

More than 20 million Americans will suffer an episode of depression or mania during their lifetimes and one in five American families will feel its impact directly. For these families <em>Overcoming Depression</em> is the essential resource. Since its first publication in 1987 it has become the book most often recommended by doctors to their depressed patients because it clearly and sympathetically presents state-of-the-art medical information and the solid practical advice that patients and their families need to participate actively in diagnosis and treatment. Now featuring all-new data on the latest drugs research treatment and medical insurance it also includes a frank discussion of psychiatric therapy in the era of managed care.
