Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
If you or someone you know has clinical depression, marshalling all the information about the condition and its treatment is the first step to recovery. Depression: The Facts provides an easy to understand overview of clinical depression for sufferers, their friends, and families and also for GP's, psychiatrists and other clinicians.
It begins with a close look at the signs and symptoms of clinical depression, as well as the process of diagnosis and the different subtypes (including major depression, dysthymia, manic-depression, and seasonal affective disorder).
The second part of the book covers the current understanding of the causes of depression, based on the best scientific evidence. Individual chapters then cover the full range of treatment options available, including antidepressant drugs, behavioural and psychosocial interventions, electroconvulsive therapy and light therapy. The book concludes with practical guidance on self-help in depression, and useful advice for family and friends.
