Depression
A Very Short Introduction
«Its biggest strengths are its clear writing-style, succinct delivery, and scope. The authors have endeavored to capture the broad range of issues surrounding depression within a little over 100 pages, and have arguably succeeded, without much loss of depth or accuracy.»
Daniel J. Dunleavy, Metapsychology
