Page iii DEDICATION To my old friends Elaine and Jill, who have known the kingdom of night. Carol Ann Turkington To all those people thinking about pursuing treatment, as well as those currently in treatment for depression. Eliot F. Kaplan, M.D.

Page iv "No one is capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night." Elie Wiesel The authors caution readers not to use this book exclusively to diagnose themselves or others. Outlines of symptoms are presented here to suggest the many faces that depression may wear. If you believe you or someone you care about may be depressed, it's imperative to get help from a qualified mental health professional. The authors have tried to ensure that all information in this book concerning drug dosages, schedules, and treatments is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with the standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general medical community. However, as medical research advances, therapeutic standards may change. For this reason and because individual cases may differ, we strongly recommend that you follow the advice of a physician directly involved in your care or the care of a family member.
