The book provides a detailed overview of the recommended medications for adults with mental health disorders. It stresses the importance of a personalised, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. It emphasises the critical role of combining medication with psychosocial interventions for treating mental illnesses. Lastly, it underscores the necessity of monitoring and managing the adverse effects associated with these medications.This book empowers mental health professionals to make informed decisions about prescribing psychotropic drugs, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Recensioner i media

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. Dr Geeta Patel (GP with specialist interest in psychiatry)
