  • "Our limited knowledge of the pathophysiology underlying mood disorders contrasts sharply with the efficacy of the treatment modalities developed over the past decades. There has been an explosion of new antidepressant and anxiolytic medications, as well as mood stabilizers and compounds that aim to improve cognition. Although treatment success is still not optimal, pharmacotherapy for mood disorders and cognitive disorders is effective and is improving. Pharmacotherapy for Mood, Anxiety, and Cognitive Disorders takes a critical look at the medications available for treating mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders; their relevance to pathobiology and underlying mechanisms; and their limitations. Its 90 distinguished contributors, many of them pioneers in the development of treatment modalities, provide background and rationale in understanding the underlying mechanisms of frontline treatments for these disorders. This comprehensive reference examines effective new alternatives in mood stabilizers and describes an emerging group of antidepressant interventions. It examines gender differences in the treatment of depression and anxiety and the different responses to pharmacotherapy. Advances in the study of the pathobiology of anxiety disorders are reviewed as well as available treatment choices, including anxiolytic medications. In this book, the authors describe several treatment approaches to dementia and other age-related cognitive impairments. It also includes new treatments for social phobia. Providing both a broad overview and detailed reviews of pharmacotherapy, Pharmacotherapy for Mood, Anxiety, and Cognitive Disorders is essential reading for practitioners who want to understand the rationale and background for the drugs they prescribe and to assess medications that are currently under development."
