Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability globally in both developed and developing nations. The staggering economic costs attributable to MDD are largely a consequence of impairment in role function. Evidence indicates that disturbance in the domain of cognitive function in individuals with MDD is the principal determinant of health outcome. This is the first book to comprehensively explore the domain of cognition in MDD. The literature describing cognitive dysfunction is reviewed with particular focus on clinical determinants, pathophysiology and causative factors. The patient subpopulations most susceptible are defined. A summary of contemporary assessment tools for research and clinical purposes is provided. Multimodality treatments and prevention strategies are described. This book is an invaluable resource for psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and other members of the mental health team, as well as for policy makers, vocation rehabilitation experts, disability providers and other stakeholders interested in improving health outcomes in MDD.

Research Directions: Depression aims to bring new insights to international attention, promote new methods and tools that can underpin rapid advances and draw attention to data that challenge existing biomedical, psychological and social orthodoxies. We encourage the active and timely sharing of novel research findings from many disciplines. We wish to resolve critical uncertainties in this most compelling and socially relevant field. The focus is on what new or existing information is required to solve pressing problems and answer the central questions. The journal invites authors to answer the questions that matter most to those who are most affected. Authors can contribute with Results, Analysis, Impact papers, datasets, presentations, grant proposals, methods papers and much more to this journal and its companion community site.

Depression is a poorly used term and is often not diagnosed when it should be, or diagnosed and treated when it shouldn’t. Clinicians face a wide range of presentations, and the challenge of delineating true depression from normal human responses to difficult situations; they then have to decide the best course of treatment. 'Fast Facts: Depression' will help health professionals to navigate the complexities of diagnosing and managing this common condition. It provides concise and clear descriptions of the features, identification and management of depression as well as the wider context of cause, prevention, and cost. The 4th edition of 'Fast Facts: Depression' has been fully updated using the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and the latest recommendations from research reviews and clinical practice guidelines, and includes a new chapter on depression in women. It is ideal for healthcare professionals working in primary care and specialist medical centers, and is ideal for anyone who wants to better understand depression as both an international public health problem and a common clinical mental health disorder. Contents: • Overview • Definitions and diagnosis • Epidemiology and impact • Identification in clinical practice • Women and depression • Prevention and management • Combined with physical health problems • Self-harm and suicide • Useful resources

"Depression is both an overused term and, too often, a poorly managed condition. The authors have written this short text to help explain depression: its symptoms, causes, and risks; its impact; and how it can be identified, treated, and prevented. Depression is one of the commonest presenting problems in primary care, but all too often it is not identified and goes untreated. Yet, individuals who seek help for their depression - and whose healthcare professionals (HCPs) recognize it - can be treated effectively. For this to happen, HCPs need appropriate knowledge and skills, based on robust and up-to-date evidence, and to be supported by appropriate systems for service delivery."--Publisher's website.

"Inflammation and Immunity in Depression: Basic Science and Clinical Applications is the first book to move beyond the established theory of cytokine-induced depression and explore the broader role the immune system plays in this devastating mood disorder. The book fully explores the most recent lines of research into this rapidly advancing field, including alterations of T-cells, the neurobiological implications of neuroinflammation and immune alterations for brain development and function, and the genetic components of neuroinflammation in depression, including the relationships between stress and inflammation that are revealing gene-environment interactions in the disorder."

Current research on depression argues that depression should no longer be viewed as a sigular psychiatric disorder but comorbid with other disorders and diseases. The Nature of Depression: An Updated Review provides clear connections between psychiatric and neurological disorders. Unlike prior books on depression, this book covers many neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson's disease, major depressive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, addiction and anxiety disorder. In addition, this book covers different forms of depression, including transition-induced depression and the development of depression following major life events, including birth of a child, menopause and retirement. Key Features: Covers depression comorbidity with psychological and neurological disorders ; Reviews comorbidity with addiction, anxiety, trauma and psychosis ; Compares the symptoms of subclinical depression to major depression ; Discusses how stress and sleep impact depression ; Theorizes the path of depression following negative life transitions.--Publisher website.
