Reseñas

This book has got answers to those questions that GPs and their patients would most frequently ask. If your not familiar with the YQA series then visit the website to learn more...Clearly aimed at the GP; there is little complex theory and it is highly practical. For a practical approach to depression in question and answer format - look no further.
