Mental Health, Diabetes and Endocrinology examines the main areas of clinical overlap between endocrinology and mental health to address key clinical conundrums. Drawing on the most recent developments from literature and clinical practice, this book gives specific attention to the main areas where clinical conundrums and treatment challenges arise across endocrinology, psychiatry, psychology and primary care. Common challenges in this area include depression which can impact on the person's ability to self-care and to adhere to treatment with consequences for their morbidity and mortality; 'diabulaemia' associated with high mortality rates; obesity and associated mental disorders; cognitive impairment and mental capacity; anti-psychotic medications and their endocrine sequelae; and specific setting-related considerations. Mental Health, Diabetes and Endocrinology is a useful resource for the overlapping conditions across these specialities, and provides clinically-focussed evidence-based resources for all health care professionals who encounter these issues.

Reviews for Mental Health, Diabetes and Endocrinology

'This superb book by international experts provides an accessible and readable resource on the critical subject of mental health, and is important reading for anyone involved in diabetes, metabolism or endocrinology. The complex bidirectional relationships between mental wellbeing, physical health conditions, and their treatments, is comprehensively described and discussed. The book is an essential resource for specialists and trainees and is hugely valuable to all healthcare professionals as it covers common, ubiquitous conditions.' Nick Oliver, Wynn Professor of Metabolism, Imperial College London, UK 'All chronic disease requires some consideration of mental health as part of the management of that condition. Nowhere is that truer than in metabolic disease. This timely book is important because it provides topical guidance to the busy clinician, hopefully leading to better outcomes.' Adrian Vella, Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, United States
