Do you need more sleep than usual? 5. Do you feel you have no control over your appetite? Dr. Rosenthal explores the many dimensions of SAD and explains how weather changes can affect our sleeping patterns, our diet, our ability to cope with stress, and even our social interactions.

CR CONTENT REPRESENTATION: (from the jacket) This volume integrates concisely yet comprehensively state-of-the-art advances in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of depressive disorders and bipolar disorders in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Distinguished contributors combine their many years study of this fast-evolving area. /// The book begins with a discussion of depression's clinical manifestations, including epidemiology, neurobiology, and chronobiology of seasonal mood disorders. A section on diagnostic assessment and treatment addresses standardized approaches to assessment and such treatment modalities as dynamic psychotherapy, group therapy, cognitive therapy, the latest advances in pharmacological treatment, and inpatient treatment. A concluding section examines bipolar disorder--its clinical manifestations, natural history, genetics, and treatment.
(from the introduction) We hope that the "Clinical Guide to Depression in Children and Adolescents" will be useful to child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, residents in general, child and adolescent psychiatry, developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologist, family physicians, medical students, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric social workers, art and activity therapists, and other health and mental health professionals.
