Description

This book aims to provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on psychotropic drugs and inform clinical decisions for the treatment of mental disorders using a problem-solving approach.

In order to accomplish these goals, the book has three central characteristics: it is evidence-based
it compares each individual drug with others in the same class and also those used for the same indications rather than describing them separately
it steadily draws practical conclusions and makes recommendations about how to select and use medications in the treatment of specific mental disorders

More than a textbook, it is meant to serve as a practical tool for professionals working in the mental health field.
