Comorbidity of Anxiety and Depression

Author: Dr. Ritu Sekhri

My experience as a teacher has taught me two things: students urge to get the concept understanding at the primary level with precise explanations and they need examples to help them do their homework. This book is a practical guide to the assessment of adolescents with anxiety-depression comorbidity and their performance on different cognitive and personality measures. It is premeditated for adolescents but its finding has the potential to contribute to the society in the form of preventive measures. The scope and the impact of anxiety and depression worldwide are overwhelming. According to an update from W.H.O World Mental Health Surveys, by 2020 depression and anxiety are predicted to be the leading illnesses in the world. The book would be very helpful for practitioners, students and research scholars in their respective field. Its focus is on the adolescents suffering with 
comorbid conditions and its impact on their daily life functioning. This book summarizes the greater severity, disability, and chronicity of poor health among comorbid group of persons.
