Beschreibung:
'I've found a solution for depression. Another option to just pills, pills and more pills. I want all doctors to have another tool in their doctor's bag in helping their patients with depression."
Over 300 million people worldwide are living with depression, six times the number a generation ago. According to the World Health Organisation, depression is now the leading cause of ill health and disability in the world.
As a general practitioner, you are on the frontline of treating this crisis. Do you find yourself treating patients with depression by referring them to psychologists or prescribing yet more antidepressant drugs, spending precious time listening and advising only to find the patient struggling to make headway into this often-debilitating mental illness? there is another option and it is safe, effective and readily available in Australia.
Dr Alex Joannou presents a third option for general practitioners - acupuncture. Stick it to Depression - Another tool in your doctor's bag offers medical practitioners an alternative to treating the world's leading cause of ill health in this groundbreaking book.
Packed with extensive, meticulous research; the latest science; case studies; Q&As with patients and FAQs covering all topics, this is the essential, practical, solution-orientated book general practitioners desperately need to combat the scourge of depression.
