Beskrivning

Worldwide efforts to promote greater lithium use for mood disorders have increased the need for evidence-based guidance addressing key questions related to initiation, monitoring and adverse effect management. This practical handbook provides clinicians with a detailed explanation of lithium's renal journey, how this informs our understanding of polyuria pathogenesis and how medications or hyponatremia can alter lithium clearance. Covering efficacy, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, discontinuation, and use in special patient groups including pregnant and breastfeeding women, older or younger patients, each section also provides a detailed background for its suggested logical approach to managing lithium's renal and other adverse effects. Using the latest data, the book outlines rationales for specific management decisions, and prioritizes options to provide clinical guidance on the best course of action. Colour-coded lists and tables, bulleted text, and diagrams illustrate important points throughout, helping to make information accessible and easy-to-digest. An essential resource for mental health professionals worldwide.

Recensioner i media

'This is the most authoritative and comprehensive exposition of lithium to date. Lithium is the only medication in psychiatric practice that could be reasonably considered as disease-modifying, and so is worthy of a dedicated exposition of its chemistry, physiological impact, clinical efficacy and safety. Drs Meyer and Stahl deftly explain putative mechanisms of lithium action with both accessibility and nuance. This is a must have for any practitioner prescribing in the mental health space.' Manpreet Kaur Singh, M.D., M.S., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford
