Description

The "Handbook of Essential Psychopharmacology" is both a clinical reference for experienced clinicians and a teaching tool and manual for residents, especially those preparing for the psychiatry board examinations. This guide provides basic facts about psychotropic drugs, including dosage, indications and drug interactions. Each chapter summarizes information about one of the four major drug classes: antidepressants, antipsychotics, antioxidants/sedative-hypnotics and mood stabilizers. Each chapter also provides: a brief overview; tables and graphs for quick clinical consultation; a question and answer section and clinical vignettes designed to test the reader's comprehension; and a comprehensive reference list.
