This is the rare psychiatric text that continues to improve my clinical practice on a daily basis."

Quite simply the best book I have ever read regarding the pharmacological treatment of depression. I plan on ordering additional copies, and if I were teaching on a PMHNP program, would make this required reading. It cuts through the noise and gives nothing but pearls in a very accessible and casual (but not diluted) way.

Excellent overview for residents of any specialty including psychiatry. Humorous, engaging, concise, and insightful.
