Why should neurologists care about depression?
It is one of the most frequent psychiatric comorbid conditionsof neurologic disorders. Not only does it have a negative impact onthe quality of patients, but it is also associated with a worsecourse of the neurologic disease. Yet, more often than not,neurologists have not been trained to recognize clinical depressionin their patients.
How should neurologists learn to care fordepression?
By reading Depression in Neurologic Disorders, the caringneurologist will gain a practical overview of:
* clinical manifestations of depression in the major neurologicdisorders
* how to use screening instruments in clinical practice
* the identification of patients with an increased suicidalrisk
* basic principles of the management of depressive disorders bythe non-psychiatrist
The major neurologic disorders covered in Depression inNeurologic Disorders include:
* Migraine
* Stroke
* Epilepsy
* Parkinson's Disease
* Multiple Sclerosis
* Huntington's Disease
* Dementia
* Traumatic Brain Injury
The practical approach is enhanced with the use of case studiesand 'take-home pearls' throughout.
Depression is a common disorder that all neurologists face intheir daily clinical practice. Depression in NeurologicDisorders provides the fundamentals of caring for patients whoare suffering beyond their diagnosed neurologic disorder.
