The new updated emphasis on psychopharmacology offers comprehensive research on the effects of drugs on mood and behavior. As the incidence of mental and behavioral disorders increases and the development of new drug treatments increases rapidly, this book provides important information on the concepts needed to implement medicine. This book addresses behavioral disorder concepts designed for treatment rather than traditional drug classification to enhance understanding of basic physiology, neurochemistry, and treatment. Each problem in the main diagnostic group is discussed in terms of history, with diagnostic procedures and typical case descriptions. Additionally, what we now know about the pathology underlying each problem is carefully explained. Providing a solid foundation in psychology, neuroanatomy, and physiology, this book also includes evidence-based alternative treatment methods, as well as critical analysis of drug claims. Overall, this article discusses ways to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs in human and animal studies.
Emerging topics covered in this article include: the growing importance of the environmental impact of medicines; Learn more about the mechanism of adverse drug reactions and tips for managing side effects of medications. The risks and benefits of using “stabilizers” to address the behavior of youth with ADHD or ASD; Discussion of differences in research and practice in the pharmacological treatment of children and adolescents. With a wealth of supporting information, this book is ideal for undergraduates and future professionals studying psychopharmacology, psychiatry, medicine, and behavior. This makes a valuable contribution to teaching the relationship between psychopharmacology and the neural and behavioral sciences.
