From Library Journal
Written in a clear questions-and-answer format, this is a comprehensive lay reader's handbook on depression. Salmans (Prostate: Questions You Have...Answers You Need, LJ 10/1/93) begins with a discussion of the nature of depression, its symptoms, and its causes, followed by an analysis of its incidence and risk factors. She then examines the effect of depression on one's physical health and cites other psychological conditions often associated with depression: alcoholism, anxiety, panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobic disorders, and eating disorders. Salmans then compares various kinds of psychotherapies. She devotes a substantial portion of the text to describing pharmacology and discussing the function, benefits, and side effects of various antidepressants. Final sections of the text address the pros and cons of other treatments, depression in the workplace, and where to get help. While not the only title on depression, this book's thorough and current information will greatly benefit those seeking help. Recommended for lay health collections.
