Digital Mental Health
This innovative book focuses on potential, limitations, and recommendations for the digital mental health landscape. Authors synthesize existing literature on the validity of digital health technologies, including smartphones apps, sensors, chatbots and telepsychiatry for mental health disorders. They also note that collecting real-time biological information is usually better than just collect filled-in forms, and that will also mitigate problems related to recall bias in clinical appointments. Limitations such as confidentiality, engagement and retention rates are moreover discussed. Presented in fifteen chapters, the work addresses the following questions: may smartphones and sensors prov...
Personalized Psychiatry
This book integrates the concepts of big data analytics into mental health practice and research. Mental disorders represent a public health challenge of staggering proportions. According to the most recent Global Burden of Disease study, psychiatric disorders constitute the leading cause of years lost to disability. The high morbidity and mortality related to these conditions are proportional to the potential for overall health gains if mental disorders can be more effectively diagnosed and treated. In order to fill these gaps, analysis in science, industry, and government seeks to use big data for a variety of problems, including clinical outcomes and diagnosis in psychiatry. Multiple ment...
The Treatment of Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a chronic and debilitating mental illness affecting a significant proportion of the world's population. It is associated with significant impairments in health-related quality of life and psychosocial functioning, and has significant illness-related morbidity and heightened mortality rates due to medical comorbidities and suicide.

Written by world experts in the field of bipolar disorder, The Treatment of Bipolar Disorder: Integrative Clinical Strategies and Future Directions provides readers with a concise and comprehen...

Mental Disorders in Primary Care
An invaluable guide to psychiatric presentation, diagnosis and treatment in a primary care setting.
Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatry
This book presents the ‘state of the art’ of biomarkers research in neuropsychiatric conditions, from dementia to eating disorders, as well as providing methodological, practical and ethical issues related to the development of biomarkers. Biomarkers have revolutionized clinical research and practice in most fields of medicine, but psychiatry has lagged behind. However, in the last decade, there has been a growing expectation that biomarkers will advance and, ultimately, reframe psychiatry research and practice. Biomarkers might inform about diagnosis, therapeutics, prognosis, contributing to a ‘personalized medicine’. Understanding their meaning, possibilities and limitations will help clinicians, researchers and students in the related areas navigate and excel in the challenging and ever changing field of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Vencendo a Depressão
A depressão é um dos transtornos mentais mais comuns ao redor do mundo, acometendo uma parcela significativa da sociedade que, muitas vezes, não tem acesso a tratamento. Assim, para auxiliar tanto pacientes e seus familiares como profissionais da saúde a melhor compreender e manejar esse transtorno, os organizadores deste manual reuniram autores com ampla experiência clínica e de pesquisa para apresentar as técnicas mais efetivas da terapia cognitivo-comportamental (TCC) voltada ao tratamento da depressão. Prático, objetivo e escrito com linguagem acessível, este livro inclui: informações teóricas para psicoeducação sobre o transtorno; capítulos sobre a aplicação das técnicas da TCC; exemplos clínicos que contextualizam os conteúdos apresentados; exercícios práticos fundamentados no modelo cognitivo-comportamental; escalas e formulários para preenchimento on-line que apoiarão o leitor em seu progresso durante o tratamento; capítulos sobre temas como o papel da família, a prevenção de recaídas, o uso de intervenções digitais (aplicativos e sites) no tratamento da depressão, as abordagens farmacológicas, a eletroconvulsoterapia, entre outros.
Thrive
We live in a world that demands perfection. Should we not meet established milestones or targets, not conform to the appropriate curve, or fail to live up to pre-established societal expectations, we invariably experience a sense of personal failure, worthlessness, and fears and anxiety about a tenuous future. Added to this is the struggle with financial pressures and widening gaps in inequality, fractured family units, chronic stress and mental health challenges, overlaid with the uncertainty and complexity of a rapidly changing world. Yet, in truth, it doesn’t matter where we come from and what our historic circumstances and achievements might be. We are all capable of extraordinary live...
