COMORBIDITY OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION (OVERLAPPING SYNDROMES)

Author: Dr. Ritu Sekhri

My experience as a teacher has taught me two things: students urge to get the concept understanding at the primary level with precise explanations and they need examples to help them do their homework. This book is a practical guide to the assessment of adolescents with anxiety - depression comorbidity and their performance on different cognitive and personality measures. It is premeditated for adolescents but its finding has the potential to contribute to society in the form of preventive measures. The scope and the impact of anxiety and depression worldwide are overwhelming. According to an update from W.H.O World Mental Health Surveys, by 2020 depression and anxiety are predicted to be the leading illnesses in the world. The book would be very helpful for practitioners, students, and research scholars in their respective fields. Its focus is on adolescents suffering from comorbid conditions and their impact on their daily life functioning. This book summarizes the greater severity, disability, and chronicity of poor health among a comorbid group of persons.
