A practical guide to understanding and participating in depression care

This revised third edition frames depression and mania as conditions that affect both individuals and families, pairing medical information with practical guidance for taking part in diagnosis and treatment decisions. It addresses medication, research, psychiatric therapy, and medical insurance, including discussion of therapy within managed care. Published in 1997, the book’s emphasis is on helping patients and families navigate the treatment landscape described by the authors rather than treating depression as an isolated personal struggle.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an overview of depression, mania, diagnosis, and treatment
  • Family members supporting someone affected by a mood disorder
  • Readers interested in the book’s discussion of medication, therapy, research, and insurance

Book overview

More than 20 million Americans will suffer an episode of depression or mania during their lifetimes, and one in five American families will feel its impact directly. For these families, Overcoming Depression is the essential resource. Since its first publication in 1987, it has become the book most often recommended by doctors to their depressed patients because it clearly and sympathetically presents state-of-the-art medical information and the solid, practical advice that patients and their families need to participate actively in diagnosis and treatment. Now featuring all-new data on the latest drugs, research, treatment, and medical insurance, it also includes a frank discussion of psychiatric therapy in the era of managed care.
