Most of us get ‘the blues’ at some point in our lives, and some people find that they just can’t shake them. How can you tell when you or someone you know is suffering from depression that needs clinical treatment? How can you find the best treatment for your depression? Dealing with Depression is a brief, user-friendly guide to depression and mood disorders for sufferers, their families, and the health professionals who care for them. Professor Parker explains that contrary to popular belief, there are many different types of depression and different ways of treating them.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Gordon Parker has style. The second edition of Dealing with Depressionprovides an outstandingly accessible account of how he sees the theory and practice of treating depression. While it is clearly written originally for the non-professional, the story is told from the cutting edge of research and treatment. It exemplifies the modern unifying approach to psychiatry a synthesis of reliable knowledge and clinical judgment. It is a book both to read and to recommend to one’s patients and their families. Guy Goodwin, Professor of Psychiatry, Oxford University
