About this bookThe SSRIs have had a major impact on the treatment of depression and one, Prozac, has even attained cult status. Yet, their predecessors are still used with impunity and we have no definitive explanation for their therapeutic effects. In reviewing the established and novel indications for treatment with these drugs, SSRIs: Past, Present and Future, incorporates a frank and detailed appraisal of their safety, efficacy and tolerability as well as exploring their underlying neurobiology. |
