Description
Thoroughly up to date for its Sixth Edition, Handbook of Psychiatric Drug Therapy is without doubt one of the hottest guides to the crucial facts about all drugs used to regard anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, substance abuse disorders, sleep disorders, dementia, and a focus deficit disorder. Coverage of every drug includes mechanisms of action, indications, unwanted side effects, interactions, way of use, and caveats relating to special populations such as pregnant and elderly patients. The book gives specific prescribing recommendations—including dosage and duration of use—for individual drugs. Tables provide at-a-glance information and a disease-specific table of contents directs readers quickly to relevant drug chapters.
