A Textbook of Biological Psychiatry integrates the
basic science concerning brain mechanisms of psychiatric disorders
alongside surveys of present standard clinical treatment. Organized
in a coherent and easy to follow structure, chapters expand across
different levels of analysis, from basic mechanisms to clinical
practice. This comprehensive reference provides an integrative
treatment of the biochemistry of neurotransmission, behavioral
pharmacology, and clinical aspects of psychiatric problems including
depression, manic-depression, and mood disorders. Other chapters
address the biological mechanisms and treatment of depression,
anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and addictions. The
editor concludes with a perspective on the future of the field and
prospects for understanding and effectively treating mood and anxiety
disorders.
