Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Writing for the estimated 12 million Americans who have battled or who are currently facing depression, Goldberg (psychiatry, Columbia Univ.) answers the questions that are most often asked by depressed patients and their families. In an easy-to-understand question-and-answer format, he discusses the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments of depression and other mood disorders. Special considerations such as suicide, elderly and adolescent cases, bereavement, and questions of law are also considered. Although the addition of an index would have made this volume more accessible, it is nonetheless a valuable resource for most general collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A straightforward, reference on depression for patients,
By A Customer
This review is from: Questions & Answers About Depression and Its Treatment: A Consultation With a Leading Psychiatrist (Paperback)
Finally a user friendly book on a medical illness
that doesn't necessitate a medical dictionary for
the average person to understand. The questions
are from real people who suffer depressive
illnesses, and the answers are cocise and clear
as if you are Ivan's own patient under his care.
