Although one of the most common forms of mental disorders in the general population, depression can be an obscure illness. People keep their depression secret, doctors have a hard time recognizing it, the cause is unknown, treatment is viewed with suspicion, and other conditions are given higher priority. However, once the right questions are asked in the correct manner, the diagnosis is easy. Doctors and patients can then choose from a range of effective and acceptable treatments.An Atlas of Depression presents a thorough and exhaustive graphical review of the diagnosis, management, and treatment of affective or "mood" disorders. Authors Baldwin and Birtwistle explore the overlap of anxiety and the depressive syndromes in the community, primary, and secondary care settings. They cover the symptoms of depressive disorders such as low mood, reduced energy and a loss of interest or enjoyment, poor concentration, reduced self-confidence, guilty thoughts, pessimism, ideas of self-harm or suicide, disturbed sleep and altered appetite. They provide a thorough review of the clinical and scientific knowledge on depression and its related disorders. The book covers all of the issues involved in the diagnosis and treatment of depression. It contains approximately 120 color illustrations and an appendix of useful links plus bibliographical references and index. These features make An Atlas of Depression a key reference for all medical professionals, from primary care physician to resident psychiatrist, who see and treat depressed patients. It is the resource you will want firmly placed on your desktop.
