Handbook of Female Psychopharmacology

This handbook reviews the latest developments in female psychopharmacology. The primary goal is to raise the awareness and understanding of sex and gender specific differences in the etiology, presentation, prevention and treatment of mental disorders in women. Written and edited by two leading experts in the field, this handy and practical volume will be of natural interest to mental health care providers, general practitioners, and obstetricians/gynaecologists. It is hoped that it will also be read by trainees embarking on careers in women's health.
