A wide variety of medications are used to treat depression, many of which have become household names—Zoloft, Prozac, and Paxil among them. Because these medications have the ability to alter how people think and feel, however, physicians must weigh a number of factors when prescribing them, especially to teens. Antidepressants: History, Science, and Issues, a part of Greenwood's Story of a Drug series, offers a robust exploration of antidepressant medications that covers the historical, ethical, medical, legal, and scientific dimensions of these drugs. After an introductory case study of a person with depression and this individual's problems and successes with antidepressants, the book provides an overview of depression and its various symptoms as well as the causes, prevalence, and diagnosis of depression. Readers will gain an understanding of the neurotransmission and specific mechanisms behind the activity of antidepressant medications; the effects and applications of these drugs, plus their associated risks of misuse and abuse; and related policy and societal issues -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Antidepressants. 650 0 $a Antidepressants $x History. 650 0 $a Depression, Mental. 650 2 $a Antidepressive Agents. 650 2 $a Antidepressive Agents $x history. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / Depression. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Antidepressants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810483 650 7 $a Depression, Mental. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890931 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jordan, Ann Westcot. $t Antidepressants. $d Santa Barbara, California : Greenwood, an Imprint of ABC-CLIO, LLC, [2018] $z 9781440839276 $w (OCoLC)1035775818 $w (OCoLC)1035775818 830 0 $a Story of a drug. 941 $a 4 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20200923010113.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022914.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190808010056.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190514013724.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC873E7C760D11E987FF680497128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
