Depressive Disorders

Depressive disorders are among the most frequent psychiatric complaints. They take many forms and their consequences for individuals, their families and society as a whole are very worrying.
This work was therefore designed to help doctors gain a better grasp of the different ways these mental troubles manifest themselves. Their multifactor origin - psychopathological context, ethno-cultural background and association with other pathologies - means that diagnosing them is sometimes a complex task.
This extremely complete and remarkably readable book describes all forms of depression, at different times of life, and offers a choice of treatment approaches tailored to each situation.
