Sommario/riassunto

Nausea is a complex sensation that results from the interaction of certain fixed biological factors, such as gender, with changeable psychological factors, such as anxiety. This book provides a complete, in-depth explanation of what we know about nausea, along with the latest research results on its causes and treatment.
