Clinical Handbook for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Mood Disorders is the first book of its kind, a one-stop reference for psychiatrists, psychologists, and trainees in need of an authoritative and contemporary guide to the assessment and management of childhood-onset mood disorders. The average patient grapples with symptoms for more than a decade before accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment, resulting in progressive symptoms and complications. Thus, it is vital that clinicians be informed about the rapid and dramatic advances in the field so that they can identify and intervene in a timely fashion. Using a developmental neuroscience lens, the book provides a foundation from which novel methods of studying the characteristics and impact of mood disorders across the lifespan can emerge. The book was written by experts with a remarkable breadth of clinical and teaching experience. Each chapter commences with a case, which contextualizes the topic in a real-world fashion, and ends with clinical pearls, which focus the reader on the most important concepts.
Clinical Handbook for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Mood Disorders addresses both the increasing demand for clinicians to provide evidence-based care and helps to translate the rapid advances in neuroscience into real-world clinical practice
