The Encyclopedia of Depression is comprehensive. Three hundred entries
cover a variety of topics related to depression. Topics range from
available treatment options, to biographical sketches of physician
pioneers in the field, to details of the various types of mental disorders
related to depression. The entry topics cover the lifespan: from
"Anaclitic Depression" found in infants to the "Geriatric Depression
Scale" used to assess depression levels in senior citizens. Cultural,
ethnic, and social factors are also discussed. The entries vary in length
and all include a bibliography. Cross-references, "see also" references,
and charts are provided when available. The charts are invaluable when
coupled with entries that cover complex topics.

Learning about depression need not be depressing, as author Andrews
illustrates with clear, concise definitions and explanations about the
history, cultural aspects, causes, risk factors, symptoms, treatments, and
prevention of this often misunderstood and sometimes devastating illness.
Snip
The author does not assume prior knowledge, nor does she oversimplify.
People with all levels of knowledge or expertise will find many of their
questions about the language surrounding depression answered here - from
the student just learning a medical term to the practitioner seeking
assistance in defining such a term to a patient or family member. It has
been almost 10 years since an encyclopedia has been devoted solely to
depression (Facts On File's Encyclopedia of Depression, 1991), and much
has been learned in that time.

Encyclopedia of Depression
Author: Cohen, N
Journal: Library journal (1976)
ISSN: 0363-0277 Date: 07/01/2010
Volume: 135 Issue: 12 Page: 110
This is an excellent reference source for general readers on a pervasive
mental health condition. Andrews has written extensively on psychological
issues in popular health journals and coauthored 13 books, many focused on
teenagers and mental health. In 300 alphabetical entries, she looks at the
emotional, biological, chemical, and social manifestations of depression
and covers both historical and contemporary people, events, theories, and
therapies significant to major and minor depression.?
snip
This title provides far more information on depression than The
Encyclopedia of Mental Health (Facts On File, 2008), and the
clinical/scientific aspects are made more accessible to lay readers than
in The International Encyclopedia of Depression (Springer, 2009).
