The Future of Antidepressants

Depression has been around almost as long as civilization. Treatments have included mineral baths, electric shocks, talking, surgery, and drugs. In The Future of Antidepressants: The New Wave of Research, readers will learn about the evolution of theories of the causes of depression, the role of biology in depression, and the development of various treatment-methods. The book then examines the latest in treatment methods and prospects for the future. The benefits and potential side effects of these antidepressants are also presented. The Future of Antidepressants: The New Wave of Research gives readers-and the more than 18.8 million Americans with some form of depressive illness-reason to hope. Book jacket.
