Practical Psychopharmacology: Translating Findings From Evidence-Based Trials into Real-World Clinical Practice 1st Edition

In the absence of clear guidance for practitioners, the widespread use of extensive polypharmacy has emerged as the primary approach to managing patients with severe and chronic mood, anxiety, psychotic, or behavioral disorders. This innovative new book offers a comprehensive overview of psychopharmacology knowledge and decision-making strategies, seamlessly integrating evidence-based trial findings with real-world clinical scenarios. Embracing the perspective and mindset of a clinical investigator, it unveils the concept of 'bespoke psychopharmacology,' empowering prescribers to tailor care to the unique needs of individual patients. Practitioners, regardless of their level of expertise, will enhance their ability to formulate rationale-based treatments that address manifestations of dysfunctional neural circuitry and dimensions of psychopathology transcending conventional psychiatric diagnoses. Presented in a user-friendly, practical, and visually engaging full-color layout, the book includes summary tables, bullet points, and illustrative case vignettes, making it an indispensable guide for all healthcare professionals involved in prescribing psychotropic medications. This includes psychiatry specialists, primary care physicians, and advanced practice registered nurses.
