Description
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders, affecting 14% of all people at some point in their lifetime. Women are
twice as likely to become depressed as men, but beyond gender there are a variety of risk factors that influence the prevalence and likelihood
of experiencing depression.
Risk Factors in Depression consolidates research findings on risk factors into one source,
for ease of reference for both researchers and clinicians in practice.
The book divides risk factors into biological, cognitive,
and social risk factors. This provides researchers with the opportunity to examine the interface among different theoretical perspectives
and variables, and to look for the opportunity for more complex and explanatory models of depression.
Audience:
Clinical psychologists and researchers in clinical psychology, psychiatry, graduate students in psychopathology, other allied mental health professionals.
