Reviews
Mood disorders are among the most common medical disorders. While many clinicians are familiar with the obvious forms of depression and mania, more subtle and complex forms are more difficult to recognize. This book presents a condensed but comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of all mood disorders. - From the Introduction
As an update on mood disorders, this book is a solid contribution to the field. It surpasses many of its competitors with aptly cited and synthesized references throughout. I would recommend it especially to those in primary care who treat the majority of patients with mood disorders. The book offers a lot of practical and relevant information in a quick read.
