"This book is an outstanding testament to the effort made towards a fundamental understanding of psychiatric disorders. The third edition is an excellent and extensive update on the biological basis of psychiatric disorders. Every psychiatrist should read and refer to this book. It covers the basis of modern psychiatry."--Doody's

Chosen as Doody's Core Title for September 2009!

"The first impression upon seeing this book is that it is a very large volume, and the second is that the content is indeed what it purports to be, a detailed account of research into the neurbiology of mental disorders....these 87 chapters overflow with the results of investigations directed toward understanding human mental disorders as neurobiological illnesses. The mass of what is presented here should make us all proud of all that psychiatry has accomplished as a research discipline....I found the individual chapters detailed but lucid, as would be expected from their authors, who write with ease and precision as the leading experts in these fields...The book is thus useful for a wide range of readers, from experienced as well as beginning investigators to clinicians to family members who seek a sophisticated overview of what types of neurbiological research are occurring for a spceific mental disorder."--Robert Freedman, MD, as reviewed in American Journal of Psychiatry

"...Charney and Nestler text proves to be quite comprehensive and remarkably useful...The Third Edition of Neurobiology of Mental Illness is generally well-written and very well organized...Neurobiology of Mental Illness may serve as a valuable and fundamental reference." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
