American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Psychopharmacology, second edition, by Schatzberg & Nemeroff.......
I went through hundreds of books at the University of Texas at Austin libraries looking for information on how anti-depressent medicines work, and what chemical imbalances are present in depression.----- This field is known as psychopharmacology. The above book was easily the best I found, and is readible for lay persons like me (i'm a college student) but also manages to include advanced information on all the psychiatry medications & mental illnesses.
You can buy it at Amazon.com but it is pretty expensive- you might want to wait until the 3rd edition comes out (The one for sale now, 2nd edition is 1998).
Does anyone know when the 3rd edition will come out?
