Late-Life Mood Disorders cover

This book contains a comprehensive review of the current research advances in late life mood disorders. This detailed review reflects the new understanding of neurobiology and psychosocial origins of geriatric mood disorders in the first decade of the 21st Century and is provided by the international group of leading experts in the field. The review of the latest developments and "gold standards" of care or methodologies in geriatric mood disorders is complemented by the anticipated future directions of research and translation into clinical practice. Our volume targets a broad audience of clinical researchers and clinicians. The content of the book will increase clinicians' and researcher's competency in recent research findings, and broaden their diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives and power of observation that will prepare them to deal with the challenges of finding appropriate effective treatments for older adults with mood disorders. The discussion of the data is presented in a textbook format and can be used for training of students of geriatric mental health. Individual chapters can be used as references on a particular topic for interested individuals, and obtained online. Clinicians and researchers who are dedicated to the treatment and study of mood disorders in older people might consider this volume an essential part of their library.

This is an outstanding book covering an all too frequent but often unrecognized problem of late-life mood disorders. There has been enormous progress in understanding the neurobiology of these disorders and this book presents the latest information about this burgeoning research. Written and edited by internationally recognized leaders in the field, this is a welcome addition to geriatric psychiatry... This comprehensive book is an excellent guide to the current scientific knowledge about late-life mood disorders. All clinicians involved in the care of older adults should be familiar with the information it contains. * Doody's Notes, June 2013 *
...its scope and breadth of topics covered are remarkable. It has the potential to be a core resource for all old age psychiatrists. * British Journal of Psychology *
