This concise, practical guide to clinical and biological factors affecting mood disorders will help clinicians and managed care administrators assign the correct somatic therapy-the first time. In this day of increasingly scrutinized health care costs, it makes sense to examine all avenues of knowledge in predicting treatment response in mood disorders.

When should anticonvulsants be chosen over lithium? Does the DST or any blood test help in choosing medications? Chapters cover antidepressants (tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and SSRIs), mania treatments (lithium, carbamazepine, valproate, and neuroleptics), electroconvulsive therapy, and future treatment issues.Goodnick, Paul J. is the author of 'Predictors of Treatment Response in Mood Disorders' with ISBN 9780880484947 and ISBN 0880484942.
