How Everyone Became Depressed
About one American in five receives a diagnosis of major depression over the course of a lifetime. That's despite the fact that many such patients have no mood disorder; they're not sad, but suffer from anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, or a tendency to obsess about the whole business. "There is a term for what they have," writes Edward Shorter, "and it's a good old-fashioned term that has gone out of use. They have nerves." In How Everyone Became Depressed, Edward Shorter, a distinguished professor of psychiatry and the history of medicine argues for a return to the old fashioned concept of nervous illness. These are, he writes, diseases of the entire body, not the mind, and as was recognized as ...
Frontiers in Catecholamine Research
Frontiers in Catecholamine Research is a collection of papers presented at the Third International Catecholamine Symposium, held at the University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France, on May 20-25, 1973. This book is organized into nine parts encompassing 205 chapters. The text begins with a discussion on clinically and experimentally used drugs that have been developed or whose mechanism of action has been clarified through monoamine research. Parts II and III deal with enzymes related to catecholamine studies, their properties, regulation, genetics, mechanism of action, and localization. Parts IV and V examine the concepts of synaptic dynamics of brain regulators and the isolation, characterization, methods of analysis, and mechanism of action of catecholamines. Part VI focuses on the complexities that surround the extrapolation of catecholamine function into the realms of electrophysiology and behavior. Part VII discusses the metabolism, behavioral, neurological, and physiological effects of amphetamine and other drugs of abuse. The concluding parts describe the role of catecholamine and its metabolism in neurologic diseases, such as schizophrenia.
Pillret : en berättelse om depressioner och doktorer, forskare och Freud, människor och marknader
PÃ¥ jakt efter en större förstÃ¥else för spelet kring de moderna antidepressiva medicinerna tar Ingrid Carlberg läsaren med frÃ¥n Sigmund Freud i artonhundratalets Wien till PR-strategier och marknadsplaner i nutidens multinationella läkemedelsbolag. Uppskattningsvis 600 000 svenskar tar dagligen nÃ¥gon av de moderna antidepressiva medicinerna. MÃ¥nga vittnar om att de sannolikt inte varit i livet idag om läkemedlen inte hade funnits. Andra upplever att problemen blivit större med än utan medicinerna. I boken berättar nÃ¥gra av dem sin historia. FÃ¥ läkemedel har som "lyckopillren" väckt sÃ¥ starka känslor i samhällsdebatten och lyfts till sÃ¥ tydliga kulturella symboler för vÃ...
