Recently, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. Patients with psychiatric problems, particularly depression, may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disorders. Depression and Heart Disease synthesizes current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format. The authors succinctly describe the epidemiology, pathogenesis (including cytokines and genetics), and risk factors of the comorbidity between depression and heart disease. The book also reviews the best pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches for people with this comorbidity.
Alexander Glassman is an authority on depression and antidepressant drugs, who has raised the standard of care for depressed patients. His work has clarified the safe treatment of depressed patients with cardiovascular disease: more recently, he has been involved in studies of the relationship between depression and cardiovascular mortality. Dr. Glassman was the recipient of the American Psychiatric Association's Foundation Fund Prize for lifetime accomplishment in Research, the Established Investigator's Award of the National Association for Research in Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders, the New York State Research Award and the 2007-2008 Anna-Monika Foundation Prize for reseach in depression. He is the author of over 300 scientific publications and serves on the editorial boards of Heart Disease and the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. He is a fellow of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, a life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a member of the scientific advisory board of the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD), and a member of the scientific advisory panel of the American Legacy Panel.
