Product Description
Essential Psychopharmacology has established itself as the preeminent source of information in its field, and this book draws on the second edition to provide a resource for all clinicians involved in the treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. Stressing the basic neuroscience of the mood disorders, the fully updated text and color illustrations enable readers to understand how the various antidepressants and mood stabilizers work in their patients. It contains new information on the pharmacokinetics of antidepressants, including the role of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system and neuropeptides including substance P. The mechanisms of action of newer antidepressants, including the latest SSRIs, are prominently and authoritatively reviewed. Psychiatrists, primary care physicians and mental health professionals can depend on this book for an up-to-date account of the psychopharmacology of mood disorders, and for essential information in planning treatment approaches. |

Essential Psychopharmacology for Depression - and More by Maurie Pressman (Philadelphia, Pa.)  5 Stars
August 28, 2006
This is a remarkable book - remarkable for its authority, its unusual learning friendliness in the context of the recognized national reputation of the author. The information is presented both visually and by text, with the advice to "read the pictures and subtext" first and then review the book. The learning of a deep and compicated subject thus becomes pleasure.
Five stars, by all means.

No wonder I'm not a brain doctor by Douglas A. Stephens (Tucson, AZ) 5 Stars
July 10, 2005
Fabulous, interesting, understandably written, and highly technical, current information. As a long time member of the bipolar community, I constantly search for information that will help me to understand my disorder, express the causes and effects to other consumers and interested parties and to be more fully capable of being a proactive consumer with my medical professionals. The book is an easy read, can be put down when your brain is reaching max capacity and picked up like you never lost a beat.
Highly recommended for all consumers, medical professionals and educators dealing with mental illnesses.
