Hormones, gender and the aging brain

Descripción

"This is the first clinical reference to address the hormonal basis of mental disorders in older people. Hormones influence a wide range of states and conditions, from pain tolerance and anorexia to attention, mood, immunity, cardiovascular and cognitive function, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease." "Clinicians and researchers alike will value this comprehensive review of a complex and sometimes controversial area of psychiatry."--Jacket.
