The author is particularly interested in the association between often relatively small changes in those biochemical indices routinely available from any clinical chemistry laboratory and the aberrations of mood which are revealed only after listening to the patient's story. Eleven chapters examine metabolic, biochemical and endocrine disturbances and includes sections on pharmacological, toxicological and nutritional aspects, and laboratory investigations."-Book News--TABLE OF CONTENTS: Foreword; Preface; 1 Introduction 2 The complexity of the central nervous system 3 Neurotransmitters, neuronal systems and subcortical nuclei 4 Neurotransmitters and psychiatric disorders 5 Neuroendocrinological aspects of psychiatric disorders 6 Psychiatric disorders and clinical chemistry 7 Psychiatric side-effects of drugs, plants, fungi and dinoflagellates 8 Munchausen syndrome and related disorders 9 Laboratory investigations of psychiatric disorders 10 Psychiatric consequences of disorders of the developing brain 11 Conclusions; Abbreviations; References; Index--with a bonus offer--
