Anxiety in Older People
Historically, clinicians and researchers have focused on depression and dementia in older people, paying little attention to anxiety except as a complication of these disorders. However, increased research into late-life anxiety has seen a growth in scientific literature and clinical interest. This important book brings together international experts to provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge in relation to anxiety in older people, highlighting gaps in both theory and practice, and pointing towards the future. Early chapters cover the broader aspects of anxiety disorders, including epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic issues, association with insomnia, impaired daily functioning, suicidality, and increased use of healthcare services. The book then explores cross-cultural issues, clinical assessment, and pharmacological and psychological interventions across a variety of settings. An invaluable resource for mental health professionals caring for older people including researchers, psychiatrists, psychologists, specialist geriatric nurses and social workers.

Psychosocial Dimensions of Medicine
This book begins by introducing us to patients in two general-practice waiting rooms. In an Australian general practice seven patients are waiting to see doctors. In a New Zealand general-practice waiting room are two patients. The healthcare needs of each patient are outlined. Of these patients and their circumstances, the editors and specialist chapter-authors ask a series of questions. What is life like for each? How might social role, economic status, and quality of social support impact on their lived experience of illness and injury? To what extent might psychosocial variables impact on the biomedical outcome of each? How might biomedical problems impact on psychosocial variables? What...
Five Alive
We are at a crossroads in health care as many of us suffer from hard-to-treat health conditions and multisystem diseases and syndromes that are on the rise. Modern medicine and technology have failed at keeping us healthy and/or improving many conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune disease, depression, allergies, and dementia, to name only a few. We have abandoned the way our bodies are designed to stay healthy. In reality, many orthodox and standard treatments disrupt or bodies normal function and promote these very disorders. The answers to many of your health concerns are literally right in front of you in the way you move, eat, and sleep. Small ch...

Huntington's Disease is one of the well-studied neurodegenerative conditions, a quite devastating and currently incurable one.

Since the identification of the causative mutation, there have been many significant developments in understanding the cellular and molecular perturbations. This book, "Huntington's Disease - Core Concepts and Current Advances", was prepared to serve as a source of up-to-date information on a wide range of issues ...
