Managing Adolescent Depression “If your primary care practice includes adolescents, it’s definitely a key addition to your resources.” “Primary care clinicians who care for adolescents will find this book educational and motivating in their quest to improve the mental health of their patients.” “Definitely a fabulous resource!” “Offers excellent, comprehensive support to the pediatrician undertaking any aspect of the continuum from screening and diagnostic interviewing to initiating treatment and advising the teenager as well as the family.” Chronic, behavior-based problems are increasingly the most common and difficult presented by adolescents. Pediatric and family clinicians are the first—sometimes the only—care providers available to families struggling to understand and cope with a teen’s depression. This important new book, written by leading authorities in pediatric medicine and psychiatry, is the first developed exclusively to provide you with the concepts, practices, research, and tools to help adolescents and their families overcome the condition.
—Renee R. Jenkins, MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics, Howard University and Past-president American Academy of Pediatrics, past-President Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine “The recognition and initial management of adolescent depression is a huge challenge to primary care clinicians where the menu for physical and mental conditions seems endless. Managing Adolescent Depression is a clinician-friendly, practical guide for office-based pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The chapters are written by experts in the field who write as if they are consulting with a clinician in real-time in a primary care office. Information about diagnosis (including screening tools), education for youth and parents about depression, medication and behavioral therapies, reorganizing an office to enhance caring for youth with depression and coding for services are presented in readable formats. Primary care clinicians who care for adolescents will find this book educational and motivating in their quest to improve the mental health of their patients.” —Martin T. Stein, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Child Development and Community Health, University of California-San Diego, Rady Children’s Hospital “Managing Adolescent Depression: The Complete Guide for Primary Care Clinicians is an excellent, comprehensive and practical guide for every primary care physician who sees adolescents with depression. This book, edited by Drs. Zuckerbrot, Cheung, Stein and Jensen, is an essential reference to assist primary care clinicians in assessing, identifying and managing adolescent depression. It also provides guidance on how clinicians can optimize their practice setting to best meet the needs of depressed adolescents. Definitely a fabulous resource!” —Margaret Steele, M.D., FRCPC, M.Ed., FCPA, Professor of Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Family Medicine, Vice Dean, Hospital and Interfaculty Relations, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, the University of Western Ontario “Managing Adolescent Depression: The Complete Guide for Primary Care Clinicians is relevant to every pediatrician and increasingly so as we enter the era of accountable care organizations and the pediatric medical home. Adolescent depression is a factor in school performance, interpersonal relationships, and substance use. Depression is related to the leading causes of death in teenagers--drunk driving “accidents” and suicide. Depression influences self-care including safe sex and adherence to medical advices. This guide offers excellent, comprehensive support to the pediatrician undertaking any aspect of the continuum from screening and diagnostic interviewing to initiating treatment and advising the teenager as well as the family. —Michael Jellinek, M.D., Chief, Child Psychiatry Service, Massachusetts General Hospital; Professor of Psychiatry and of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School Related Publications:
