Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method to stimulate the human brain, modulating brain activity without surgery or anesthesia. TMS uses a brief, high-intensity, pulsed magnetic field, which induces an electrical field capable of depolarizing a localized brain area. In October 2008, the first TMS system was cleared by the FDA to treat adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have not responded to one antidepressant medication. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice, 2nd Edition, is a practical reference for managing patients who are candidates for TMS. Since publication of the first edition, devices have received FDA clearance for obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety comorbid with MDD, and smoking cessation, and insurance coverage for TMS has expanded. The book discusses the integration of TMS with psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and other forms of neuromodulation; the identification of appropriate patients for referral to a TMS clinician; coordination of care to ensure the best outcomes during the acute, continuation, and maintenance treatment phases of depression; and the evolving nature of TMS research. The volume appendix lists various options for advanced TMS training'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Since the invention of the cigarette-making machine towards the end of the nineteenth century and then throughout the twentieth century, cigarettes have been by far the most common form of nicotine consumption in the United States, with cigars and oral tobacco (chew and snuff) trailing far behind. Despite declines in smoking, it remains the number one cause of preventable death in the United States. It has been estimated that tobacco smoking causes over 400,000 premature deaths per year in the United States and 4.9 million deaths per year worldwide (8.8% of all global deaths). Since only the beginning of the twenty-first century has the tobacco industry acknowledged the scientific consensus on the addictiveness and other health effects of cigarettes and has diversified into marketing a range of other products. The 1964 U.S. Surgeon General's report on tobacco and health concluded that cigarettes are a cause of lung cancer, and numerous follow-up reports clarified the enormous harmfulness of cigarette smoking. This book describes the harms to health from smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products, the relative harms from non-smoked nicotine products, the neurobiology of tobacco/nicotine dependence and addiction, comorbidities of tobacco addiction with other behavioral health conditions, and ways to address tobacco/nicotine use in the clinical setting and engage patients in treatment'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'There is a side of cannabis use that is not advertised or promoted, a physically and psychiatrically detrimental side, which might be darker than most of us realize. The ever-increasing use of cannabis across the United States is least partially due to its legalization. Evidence of the impact of cannabis on mental health should raise more concerns among mental health professionals, legislators, and the public; we are facing a serious and growing problem that requires efforts similar to those developed during the antitobacco campaign of recent decades. As both legalization of cannabis and a rise of illegal cannabis production continues, physicians need to be aware of the potential harms of cannabis on both physical and mental health. Without a true and comprehensive understanding of the deleterious impact of cannabis use, we will not be able to effectively educate our patients, the public, and policy makers to mitigate the risks associated with use. This volume collects information related to the risk of cannabis use on the human body from authors from different corners of the world'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Learning DSM-5-TRª by Case Example uses a case-based approach to learn about DSM-5-TR diagnoses and incorporates new information contained in the DSM-5-TR text across all 19 diagnostic classes. With the goal of teaching students about the diagnosis of psychopathology, the authors first describe each DSM-5-TR disorder in prototypical terms and then illustrate how these prototypes present in real-life clinical settings. Adapted, real cases have been drawn from the authors' own clinical experience and from the practices of a large number of clinicians, among them many well-known experts in particular areas of diagnosis and treatment. This updated edition includes a new disorder added to DSM-5-TR, prolonged grief disorder, and four new 'cutting edge,' emerging cases. These are joined by cases from the previous edition of this book (based on DSM-5), which continue to be useful to teach about psychopathology as the field evolves, and with updated discussions'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Psychodermatology, also referred to as psychocutaneous medicine, lies at the intersection of two medical specialties: psychiatry and dermatology. A primarily psychiatric condition can present with dermatologic symptoms, and many dermatologic conditions have profound psychological impacts. In Clinical Psychodermatology: From Diagnosis to Therapy, the compiled case reports have been organized into central themes: general principles (chapters 1-3), psychosis-spectrum disorders (chapters 4 and 11), impulse control disorders (chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9), and anxiety- and mood-associated disorders (chapters 8, 10, 11, and 12). Treatment often warrants both pharmacological and psychological intervention, and a multidisciplinary approach is the most successful. Collaboration between dermatologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social services leads to higher patient satisfaction and improved outcomes. Unfortunately, the bias against mental illness serves as a barrier. To alleviate distress and optimize functioning, a mental health clinician familiar with addressing these conditions is ideal, and in areas where such specialists are scarce, an empathic therapist is likely to be worthwhile'.
