Depression is a mood disorder that affects one in ten Americans in any given year. At one time too stigmatized to be mentioned in polite conversation, depression is now discussed frankly in the media, and advertisements for drug therapy appear everywhere. The third edition of this widely acclaimed book reflects changes in how mood disorders are thought about, and how they are treated.

Dr. Francis Mark Mondimore, author of the best-selling book Bipolar Disorder: A Guide for Patients and Families, here explains depression―its causes and symptoms, and its treatment. He discusses depression in all age groups and in both sexes, as well as bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorders, and depression that accompanies illness. This edition encompasses more than a decade of new research, advances in pharmacology, and changes in public perception.

The past ten years have seen the release of new forms of the major antidepressants as well as other promising new avenues in pharmaceutical treatments. For example "atypical" or "second generation" antidepressants, such as venlafaxine and duloxetine, provide different ways of manipulating the chemical systems in the brain concerned with mood. And there have been significant advances in the use of MAO inhibitors, now available in patch form.

Dr. Mondimore reviews these and other pharmacological therapies as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment that includes psychotherapy, family and community support, and lifestyle changes. Full of information compassionately presented, this guide provides hope and help to patients and their families.

Review:

"A readable, informative, comforting overview of an illness most people consider scary."

(Library Journal)

"A clearly written, comprehensive, and compassionate guide."

(Science Books and Films)

"If it seems a gloomy thought to explore the workings of mental doldrums, psychiatrist Mondimore makes this a safe trip, explaining in simple language how depression and manic-depression take effect and what victims can do about it."

(Publishers Weekly)

"A recommended pick for both public and college-level libraries."

(Bookwatch)

"This is a reader friendly book on depression and mood disorders written primarily for patients and their families. It explains scientific and clinical facts at a patient level helping the patient get a better bearing on the nature of depression."

(Doody's Review Service)

"There are many books about depression currently available. What makes this one so special is its sheer comprehensiveness within a two hundred page limit... to be recommended to sufferers and professionals in the mental health field."

(Kevin M. Purday Metapsychology)

"Depression, the Mood Disease is a recommended pick for both public and college-level libraries."

(Midwest Book Review)
From the Author:
A "consumer's guide" for mood disorder patients.
This book started out as a "hand-out" for my patients, many of whom had only the vaguest familiarity with the symptoms and causes and treatment of depression, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. It is not a "self-help" book, but rather a consumer's manual for persons looking for information on these very common disorders. I'm pleased with and very proud of this little book and gratified to see it listed on so many "suggested reading" lists for mood disorder patients and their families published by mental health advocacy and support groups.
