Depression: Social and Economic Time Bomb - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Depression is one of the commonest disorders worldwide yet it continues to be underdiagnosed especially in men who tend not to present with classical symptoms. For the most part it is diagnosed and treated in primary care. However all too often the treatment is inappropriate or given for too short a time or is abandoned totally. More awareness of the condition, use of the Wellbeing index to identify potential depressives and appropriate management should be the norm. Depressive patients should not be stigmatised by their condition. This book offers pragmatic solutions to all these problems.

This book is based on a major conference organised by the World Health Organisation in collaboration with the International Federation of Health Funds, Harvard Medical School and the Sir Robert Mond Memorial Trust.
