The world is witnessing a burgeoning global epidemic of chronic cerebro-
and cardiovascular disease and depression disorders. The reader will find this
comprehensive book to be a long-needed, up-to-date knowledge base on these
increasingly recognized comorbid conditions that have long-term consequences
for individual function and well-being and society in general. This
comprehensive book outlines the complex and bidirectional relationship between
various types of depression and cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases. It is
written by a range of experts in the field, including psychiatrists,
cardiologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and epidemiologists, with the
aim of presenting and discussing the most recent evidence on the
pathophysiology, neurobiology, and clinical presentation of these common and
disabling comorbid conditions and the available pharmacological, psychological,
and behavioral interventions. By elucidating the underlying clinical and
neurobiological mechanisms in the brain and the rich interplay between the body
and the brain biology, the book brings together the latest knowledge of this
overlapping area in Psychiatry and Cardiology. The clear descriptions of
evidence-based approaches to clinical treatment ensure that it will serve as both
an up-to-date overview and a future guide for practicing clinicians and
graduate students.
