Can traumatic life events cause depression? Studies generally point to a connection
between adverse life events and depression. However, establishing a causal rather
than associative connection, the key concern of this book, is more problematic.
What neurobiological changes may be induced by stress and depression, and to what
extent do these changes correspond? The authors structure their examination around
three major themes: the pathophysiological role of stress in depression; whether
or not a subtype of depression exists that is particularly stress-inducible; and,
finally, how best to diagnose and treat depression in relation to its biological
underpinnings.
- Examines the biological underpinnings of how stress and depression work on the brain
- Formulates a specific stress-inducible type of depression
- Discusses how best to treat stress-induced depression
