Preview Insulin Resistance Syndrome and Neuropsychiatric Disease (Medical Psychiatry)

Description:
Studies have shown that patients with psychiatric and cognitive disorders have an increased prevalence of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and other abnormalities considered symptomatic of metabolic syndrome. With this new information, there is growing recognition that insulin resistance is a factor in many cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, as well as psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and affective disorders. This book seeks to present a complete overview and the relationship between metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and psychiatric and cognitive disorders. The book will also show the relationship that exists between affective disorders and Alzheimer's Disease as a result of insulin resistance, and discuss the impact on treatment.
