Biomarkers in Bipolar Disorders
Biomarkers in Bipolar Disorders summarizes cutting-edge findings in biomarkers' research, emphasizing the most promising findings, tools and technologies relevant to drug development and personalized medicine. Key findings cover different levels of evidence such as genes, molecules, cells, systems, brain and behavior related to diagnosis (state and trait/endophenotypes), prediction of treatment response and follow-up outcomes, along with the most promising perspectives in each area. Each section includes a comprehensive and focused overview on the state-of-the-art and perspectives. The book concludes with a section on practical applications, encompassing diagnostics development (genetic test...
Clinical Textbook of Mood Disorders
A comprehensive overview of the research status, diagnosis, and management of mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder.
Manic Minds
From its first depictions in ancient medical literature to contemporary depictions in brain imaging, mania has been largely associated with its Greek roots, "to rage." Prior to the nineteenth century, "mania" was used interchangeably with "madness." Although its meanings shifted over time, the word remained layered with the type of madness first-century writers described: rage, fury, frenzy. Even now, the mental illness we know as bipolar disorder describes conditions of extreme irritability, inflated grandiosity, and excessive impulsivity. Spanning several centuries, Manic Minds traces the multiple ways in which the word "mania" has been used by popular, medical, and academic writers. It reveals why the rhetorical history of the word is key to appreciating descriptions and meanings of the "manic" episode." Lisa M. Hermsen examines the way medical professionals analyzed the manic condition during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and offers the first in-depth analysis of contemporary manic autobiographies: bipolar figures who have written from within the illness itself.
Bipolar Disorders
Covers advances in the fields of genetics, neuropsychopharmacology, psychosocial factors, and more, emphasizing therapeutic potential.
Mood Disorders
Offering up-to-date information on brain imaging in mood disorders, this book is an invaluable resource for mental health professionals.
Bipolar Disorder Vulnerability
Bipolar Disorder Vulnerability: Perspectives from Pediatric and High-Risk Populations synthesizes our current understanding of high-risk and pediatric populations to aid readers in identifying markers of vulnerability for the development of bipolar disorder, with an ultimate goal of the development of drug targets and other therapies for early diagnosis and treatment. The book provides readers with an understanding of biological and environmental factors influencing disease manifestation that will aid them in defining discrete clinical stages and, importantly, establish an empirical basis for the application of novel therapeutics in a phase of illness during which specific treatments could more effectively alter disease course. Whereas most of the literature available on the pathophysiological mechanisms of bipolar disorder focuses on chronically ill adult individuals, this represents the only book that specifically examines pediatric and high-risk populations. An estimated 30 to 60 percent of adult bipolar disorder patients have their disease onset during childhood, with early-onset cases representing a particularly severe and genetically loaded form of the illness.
Understanding Suicide and Its Prevention
Finally, a book that explains suicide using the latest research in suicidology. A must-read for mental health professionals and the survivors of suicide who want to understand why suicide happens. The material in this book should be incorporated into the curriculum of psychology and psychiatry because suicide is such a vital topic that is hardly covered in medical schools due to the lack of a coherent theory of the brain in general and suicide in particular. This is an important book for all professionals who deal with mental disorders in general and suicide in particular. It is the author's fifth book where suicide is explained, not as a mysterious process, but as a natural consequence of t...
ANGER MANAGEMENT
Are you exhausted from piecing together the broken fragments deriving from your explosive anger? If your answer is a firm 'Yes', then I have great news for you... Having to interface with the causes of your anger is deeply disheartening. Witnessing the tears, screams, and terror of your loved ones painting you as "a monster" is a source of enormous disappointment to yourself... But what hurts, even more, is having to admit to yourself that you have lost control for the umpteenth time. According to the National Comorbidity Survey Replication research, more than 16 million men in America suffer from uncontrolled anger. This covers almost 7% of the total male population, making the phenomenon c...
Handbook of Medical Psychiatry
This volume examines attempts to identify genetic risk factors and environmental components contributing to the development of psychiatric disorders. It explores the symptoms, courses, outcomes, treatment responses and aetiologies of a range of psychiatric illnesses to improve disease classification schemes.
The Bipolar Brain
In this book, experts in neuroimaging and genetics discuss recent discoveries in bipolar disorder, leading to an integrated neurophysiologic model of this condition. This model provides a substrate for future investigations to, hopefully, lead to better understanding of this illness in order to develop improved therapies for affected individuals.
