The Neurobiological Basis of Suicide (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Dwivedi, Yogesh

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Psychological, psychosocial, and cultural factors are important in determining the risk factors for suicide; however, they offer weak prediction and can be of less clinical value. With recent studies using genetic, epigenetic, and other molecular and neurochemical approaches, a new era has begun in understanding the suicide pathophysiology. This volume discusses how and why neurobiological factors are crucial in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of suicidal behavior and how these findings can be transformed into potential therapeutic applications.
