Summary

• "This book summarizes the recent advances in evidence-based pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders. There have been some very significant developments in our understanding of the methods for reviewing the literature systematically, assessing clinical trials and optimizing decision making. This volume examines these issues with reference to the major psychiatric conditions and addresses issues such as selecting the best first-line psychopharmacological intervention for a particular disorder, for how long a particular intervention should be continued, and identifying the next-best treatment strategy should the first agent fail. The conditions covered include, amongst others, depression, schizophrenia, panic PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and eating disorders.
• There is also a chapter on the potential for complications as a result of adverse interactions between drugs. These issues lie at the heart of clinical psychopharmacology and the book will therefore appeal to all practising clinicians, whether in a primary care or a specialist mental health setting."--Jacket.
