Editors Thakore (neuroscience, St. Vincent's Hospital Fairview, Dublin) and Leonard (pharmacology, National U., of Ireland, Galway) and 18 contributing writers provide a collection of reviews that help create a context to explain why subjects with serious mental illness develop obesity, varying stages of diabetes, and related cardiovascular problems. The authors discuss and review numerous relevant topics: the relationship between prolactin and bone mineral density in subjects in medical treatment and the underlying dopaminergic mechanisms, the immunological changes occurring as an integral part of serious mental illness, and their impact on endocrine function. The writing is direct, detailed, and extremely accessible for such potentially complex topics--and supported by extensive references. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
