Summary

Depression is a frequent and serious comorbid condition in many neurologic disorders – it has only recently become fully understood as a problem that needs to be addressed in the clinic by neurologists. This much needed text looks at depression generally and with reference to specific neurological conditions such as: migraine, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. Through the use of “Tips and Tricks” boxes, case studies, points of interest boxes, and “Take home summaries,” Depression in Neurological Disorders takes a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of depressive disorders.
