Depression and Diabetes

"Depression and Diabetes is an outstanding book that provides and impressive amount of information on a major worldwide health problem that requires concerted efforts by the global community of health providers, including health care policy makers. The book is highly recommended and is well worth the short time commitment needed to read it." (Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2011)
 
"Particularly helpful to mental health clinicians is the attention to both diabetes and mental health issues ... It explores an area of medicine that is important to our patients, their families, and all of us as we strive to provide better evidence-based treatments throughout the world." (Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 11 November 2011)
 
"Depression and Diabetes does a good job in laying out the various biopsychosocial pathways by which diabetes might lead to depression or vice versa . . . the chapters in this book that will be most appreciated by clinical health psychologists and other practitioners who care for patients with diabetes are those involving treatment, either just the treatment of comorbid depression or concurrent treatment of both condition." (PsycCRITIQUES, 1 June 2011)
 
"The present miniseries, Depression and Diabetes, Depression and Heart Disease and Depression and Cancer is a unique initiative to make physical diseases visible in psychiatry and to support the treatment ... To this reviewer the books have two strengths: their thematic broadness and the practical approach. The chapters about how to act clinically are excellent, pragmatic and consequently written .... The idea behind the series is excellent and the books are marvellous. After having read them no one will doubt that psychiatry is a medical speciality (that psychiatrists must be physicians first, psychiatrists next, that psychiatry must be done by psychiatrists and psychiatry must be lead by psychiatrists.)" (Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2011)
 
"Diabetes and Depression will appeal to anyone with an academic interest in the links between diabetes and depression". (Diabetes Digest, 1 November 2010)
