"This state-of-the-art book presents essential information for understanding and treating depressed children, as well as preventing depression in the young. In the past decade, tremendous advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of depression: First, new classes of antidepressant drugs have extended the limits of pharmacological treatment. ... the authors delve into the interplay of environment and genetics, showing how psychological reactions may eventually translate into biochemical changes, which form the core of depressive illness. Pointing out that mood disorders reduce the quality of life at any age, circumscribe the functioning of those afflicted, and cause hardships to the children and their families, they stress prevention and early treatment." -From the Publisher
