The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry

About this book

The most up-to-date edition of the gold-standard handbook on the safe and effective prescribing of psychotropic agents

Prescribing medications that treat mental illness is a challenging but essential component of clinical practice. Successful treatment outcomes require careful drug choice and dosage, and other considerations can also have an important impact on patient experiences and long-term care.

In the newly revised fifteenth edition of The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry, you will find up-to-date and authoritative guidance on prescribing psychotropic medications to patients. It is an indispensable evidence-based handbook that will continue to serve a new generation of clinicians and trainees.

The book includes analyses of all psychotropic drugs currently used in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. It also contains detailed discussions of common and uncommon adverse effects, the ramifications of switching medications, special patient groups, and other clinically relevant subjects. A fully updated reference list closes out each section, as well.

The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry is perfect for trainees seeking essential and accurate information on the rational, safe, and effective use of medications for patients with mental illness. Practising clinicians will also benefit from the included guidance on complex issues that might arise less frequently.
