At A Glance

Blending evidence-based information with practical, real-world experience, this accessible volume examines the efficacy, dosing, and side effects of drug classes such as antidepressants, antipsychotic medications, mood stabilizers, and stimulants.

Description
|
| This tenth edition book provides a readable, up-to-date guide to psychiatric medications and their expanding indications. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| The purpose of the book is to review the ever-expanding number of available agents and their widening number of indications. It aims to provide an updated analog of evidence-based information and clinical experiences for training and practicing clinicians. |
|

Features
|
| This book consists of 13 chapters subdivided into various subjects. Chapters focusing on less commonly used agents have been shortened or removed to focus on widely used and newly approved ones, as well as agents in the later stages of review. There are also updated chapters of pharmacogenetic testing and other tests used to diagnose and tailor treatments to individual patients. The book starts with a review of general principles of psychopharmacology and diagnosis. It then devotes chapters to thoroughly review antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antianxiety agents, hypnotics, and stimulants. Later chapters look at specialized topics such as augmentation strategies, substance use, emergency department treatments, pediatrics, geriatrics, and patients with developmental disabilities. The final chapter looks at laboratory-guided pharmacotherapy and testing to help personalize treatment. |

Assessment
