Taylor & Francis Vascular Disease and Affective Disorders 2002 Edition by Chiu Edmond, David Ames, Cornelius Katona
Mood disorders affecting patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease have to be considered as a major topic in public health because of the high prevalence and the negative impact on patients' outcome and general health costs. Despite the publication of many studies, a coherent approach to the clinical implications is certainly missing for psychiatrists, physicians, geriatricians and neurologists who dedicate time listening to patients' affective symptoms. While the relationship between affective disorders and vascular disease is well known in clinical practice, the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy remain uncertain. Clear guidelines do not exist. This new work presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date review and exploration of the subject available. Bringing together a team of distinguished contributors, it will be a welcome and important source of reference for clinicians while also inspiring future research.
