Description:

About this item:

A life-saving book that you can carry anywhere you go! This jargon-free guide is suitable for all trainee and registered health professionals who require knowledge and understanding of drugs used in the treatment of mental health conditions for prescribing or administering purposes.

Introductory material provides a background on psychotropic drugs, the etiology of mental illness, some of the commonly used drugs in practice and brief notes on common non-pharmacological interventional options. It also examines the pathophysiology of mental illness and clinical decision making.

The central chapters provide comprehensive coverage of all the major medications used in the most common mental health disorders, detailing key drugs and including side effects, average doses, contra-indications and precautions, and clinical management interventions. Case studies, multiple choice questions and summary tasks in each chapter enable readers to clearly relate theory to practice and thoroughly review their learning.

The second edition of this best-selling text has been completely revised to include:

updated information and refreshed case studies throughout;
more activities for self-study and interactive learning, including multiple choice questions;
an emphasis on new ways of working within mental health settings, such as non-restrictive practice;
a completely new chapter on alcohol and substance misuse.

Review

I would recommend this book to all mental health nurse prescribers, nurses and students. The book layout is brilliant with a concise summary and questions at the end of each chapter, which makes the reader reflect on the content read in each chapter. A very well written and a very useful resource for practitioners and learners.

Love this book, the way it is structured and how everything is explained. For someone who wants to further my studies from being a nurse to focus more on the medication side. This is really helping me understand more about medication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for student nurses, clinicians and nurse prescribers.

This is a lovely comprehensive book on pharmacology that's used in mental health care. I really like the sections which are broken into specific disorders but importantly it's the way it's written which makes this book so accessible. This book does not shy away from the technical elements required but the diagrams in the injection section is extremely helpful and describing the modes of actions .The activities and the quiz after each chapter are really useful.Going to put this as essential reading for our student nurses in our academic institution.
