Description
While antidepressants have helped millions worldwide, a substantial proportion of patients fail to respond or remit. There is little published information available to clinicians for diagnosis and management of treatment-resistant depression, so they have had to make difficult decisions about treatment options with very limited data. The editors and their internationally distinguished team of contributors have set out to address this problem, giving a critical assessment of all aspects of treatment-resistant depression: causes, epidemiology, comorbidity, evaluation and treatment. This timely book will be invaluable to clinicians, neuroscientists, researchers and graduate students.

Read this book about treatment resistant mood disorders. Its the ONLY book Ive ever seen written specifically about TRD. Authored by a a couple noted psychiatrists, Jay Amsterdam and Andrew Nierenberg. Nierenberg is reputed to be an authority on treatment resistant mood disorders.I have not read this book myself as I dont have the money right now to get it, but I have every intention of buying it and reading it.
Also, Stephen Stahl books are always good when it comes to psychopharmacology. I have one of his books Essential Psychopharmacology of Depression and Bipolar Disorder and its pretty good. Easy to read, explains stuff in easily understood language.
