Q&A
What is neuropsychopharmacology?
It is the study of the neurobiological origin of the pharmacological basis in psychiatric medicine.
Neuropsychopharmacology is a study of the principles of mechanisms of drug actions on the nervous system. It studies how and why psychiatric medicine works in the brain. It provides the scientific basis of the physiological and biochemical effects of the drugs that act on the brain.
What does neuropsychopharmacology cover?
It integrates the neuroscience, pharmacology and psychology into a single discipline in order to understand the neurobiological basis of mental medicine.
It covers the neuroscience, pharmacology and psychology of how the medicine that are used to treat mental disorders work
