Challenging Depression: The Go-To Guide for Clinicians and Patients (Go-To Guides for Mental Health)

Annotation It is a commonly held belief that athletes, particularly body builders, have greater requirements for dietary protein than sedentary individuals. The evidence in support of this contention is controversial. This book is the latest in a series of publications designed to inform both civilian and military personnel about issues related to nutrition and performance. Soldiers face many stressors during combat, including unique nutritional demands. Of particular concern is the role of dietary protein in controlling muscle mass and strength, response to injury and infection, and cognitive performance. The first part of this book contains the committee's summary of the workshop, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The rest of the book contains papers by the workshop speakers on such topics as the effects of aging and hormones on regulation of muscle mass and function; alterations in protein metabolism due to the stress of injury or infection; the role of individual amino acids, the components of proteins, as neurotransmitters, hormones, and physiological modulators; and efficacy and safety considerations associated with dietary supplements aimed at enhancing performance. 1.

It is a commonly held belief that athletes, particularly body builders, have greater requirements for dietary protein than sedentary individuals. However, the evidence in support of this contention is controversial. This book is the latest in a series of publications designed to inform both civilian and military scientists and personnel about issues related to nutrition and military service. Among the many other stressors they experience, soldiers face unique nutritional demands during combat. Of particular concern is the role that dietary protein might play in controlling muscle mass and strength, response to injury and infection, and cognitive performance. The first part of the book contains the committee's summary of the workshop, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The remainder of the book contains papers contributed by speakers at the workshop on such topics as, the effects of aging and hormones on regulation of muscle mass and function, alterations in protein metabolism due to the stress of injury or infection, the role of individual amino acids, the components of proteins, as neurotransmitters, hormones, and modulators of various physiological processes, and the efficacy and safety considerations associated with dietary supplements aimed at enhancing performance. Here, both therapist and client will learn the causes of depression, how to recognize and diagnose the different iterations of depression, the wide variety of psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatment options available, and how to get the most out of those treatments. Zetin, Hoepner, and Kurth explain the causes of depression, how to recognize and diagnose the different iterations of depression, and the wide variety of psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatment options available. Even more important, they show patients how to best work with their clinicians and clinicians how to best help their patients. The book is liberally sprinkled with case discussions, which demystify the treatment protocols and show the various ways that clients respond to treatment. In this book, medical professionals have a go-to desk reference for their questions about depression, and consumers have a friendly, accessible introduction to an otherwise intimidating disorder.
