Melancholy is a type of depression that was considered prevalent throughout the 20th century, often classified as an independent group within depressive disorders. Following the introduction of the DSM-III in the 1980s, its classification changed, becoming considered just another subtype. This work, coordinated by Dr. Julio Vallejo Ruiloba and written by professionals from the Bellvitge Hospital, offers a comprehensive and updated view of this psychiatric disorder.
The book is structured into three fundamental sections covering everything from epidemiology, chronobiology, and clinical manifestations to the context of psychiatric disorders, melancholic personality, and neuroimaging techniques. Finally, it addresses prognosis and therapeutic strategies, including psychological, pharmacological, and physical treatments. It is an essential tool for both general practitioners and students, noted for its synthetic, schematic, and clear approach.
