Summary

"Women are more likely to suffer from depression than are men, and depression is the leading cause of disability for women throughout the world. In this book, editors Carolyn M.

The book, drawing from the work of over 40 top experts in the field, will influence the work of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers for years to come."--Jacket.
