Depression : A Multimedia Sourcebook (Bibliographies and Indexes in Medical Studies)

Some degree of depression is commonly experienced by such a broad spectrum of the population, that depression can be viewed as the common cold of psychological disorders. But there is more to depression than its psychological aspects; there are also biochemical aspects. All facets of depression are examined in this annotated guide which provides diverse yet easy-to-access information on depression. The information represents more than seven decades of print and nonprint sources, including books, videocassettes, brochures, online databases, audiocassettes, and CD-ROM materials. With the aid of a comprehensive subject index, this book provides easy-to-access facts and where to look for more detailed information. It not only refers the reader to traditional information such as books and articles, but also to online databases, CD-ROM, and videocassettes. An author index and list of acronyms serve to further assist the reader. Although doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and sociologists are the intended audience, there is something in this volume for virtually anyone interested in depression.
