Depression is the most common mental illness worldwide. In 2017, WHO reported that depression was the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide with more than 300 million people living with depression, an increase of more than 18% between 2005 and 2015. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eTime is of the essence for busy practitioners.

Etiological considerations underpinning possible relationships between psychosocial variables and health include, but are not limited to, communication in the brain, molecular aspects, stress responses, heritability, and disease associated immune responses. Next, factors related to the ability to change behavior are considered. These include topics such as epigenetics, neuroplasticity, conditioning, therapygenetics, critical periods, and motivation. Then, evidence for efficacy of treatment approaches is presented. These include such interventions as pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, complementary interventions, and self-medication. \u003cem\u003eU\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003enderstanding and Treating Depressive Disorders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a concise and practical guide that will be of great value to students, psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral medicine specialists, residents and fellows in those fields, and any clinician that works with patients suffering from depression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacob Raber \u003cbr\u003eProfessor of Behavioral Neuroscience, Neurology, and Radiation Medicine \u003cbr\u003eDivision of Neuroscience, ONPRC \u003cbr\u003eOregon Health \u0026amp; Science University (OHSU) \u003cbr\u003eCourtesy Professor, College of Pharmacy \u003cbr\u003eOregon State University \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFranklin Sunzeri \u003cbr\u003eConsulting Research Immunologist \u003cbr\u003eHeather Hills Consulting \u003cbr\u003eCoos Bay, Oregon \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eJennifer M.
