This is the definitive textbook on its subject. It reviews the basic neurosciences and the tools that are available for the study of mental disorders in humans. Then it covers the major psychiatric disorders in a consistent way: their diagnostic classification, molecular genetics, functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry and pharmacology, neuroimaging, and principles of pharmacotherapy. For this Second Edition, every section has been thoroughly updated, and 13 new chapters have been added in areas where significant advances have been made. Both as a textbook and a reference work, Neurobiology of Mental Illness represents a uniquely valuable resource for psychiatrists, neuroscientists and their students or trainees.
