The author reviews current treatments for depression, emphasizing the biological therapies as the source of numerous developments in recent years. He outlines findings related to drug selection, the newer antidepressants, nonstandard antidepressants such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, combined and maintenance drug therapy, and usefulness of plasma levels, along with developments in electroconvulsive therapy and cognitive and interpersonal therapy. Although some of the findings are technically arcane, he says, many of them can be translated into more effective patient care with the resources currently available to most psychiatrists.
作者回顾了当前治疗抑郁症的方法，强调生物疗法是近年来众多进展的源头。他概述了与药物选择、新型抗抑郁药、单胺氧化酶抑制剂等非标准抗抑郁药、联合及维持药物治疗、血药浓度的作用相关的研究结果，以及电休克疗法、认知疗法和人际治疗的进展。他说，尽管其中一些研究结果在技术上晦涩难懂，但利用大多数精神科医生目前可获得的资源，其中许多结果都可以转化为更有效的患者护理。
