The world is witnessing a burgeoning global epidemic of chronic
cerebro- and cardiovascular disease and depression disorders. The
reader will find this comprehensive book to be a long-needed,
up-to-date knowledge base on these increasingly recognized
comorbid conditions that have long-term consequences for
individual function and well-being and society in general. This
comprehensive book outlines the complex and bidirectional
relationship between various types of depression and cerebro- and
cardiovascular diseases. It is written by a range of experts in
the field, including psychiatrists, cardiologists,
neuroscientists, psychologists, and epidemiologists, with the aim
of presenting and discussing the most recent evidence on the
pathophysiology, neurobiology, and clinical presentation of these
common and disabling comorbid conditions and the available
pharmacological, psychological, and behavioral interventions. By
elucidating the underlying clinical and neurobiological
mechanisms in the brain and the rich interplay between the body
and the brain biology, the book brings together the latest
knowledge of this overlapping area in Psychiatry and Cardiology.
The clear descriptions of evidence-based approaches to clinical
treatment ensure that it will serve as both an up-to-date
overview and a future guide for practicing clinicians and
graduate students.
