How much time do you spend researching psychiatric medications.

How often does a patient ask you a question about a medication to which you don’t know the answer?
Have you ever wished that you could find a single reference source for all psychiatric medications instead of sifting through bulky books and websites for quick answers?

Now, thanks to the complete and cutting-edge reference, Practical Guide to Psychiatric Medications, written by award-winning psychiatrist Tanveer A. Padder, MD, you can bring your valuable attention back to your patients. This comprehensive guide examines numerous psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, psychosis, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance abuse, PTSD, and others and then provides detailed, evidence-based clinical accounts of effective drug therapies while covering everything from the dosing protocols and side effects to the drug-drug interactions and much more. In addition to discussing certain special populations such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women, this resource also includes must-know changes in DSM-5 and other currently relevant drug information like black box warnings.

A Very Helpful Guide

This is such an excellent book for Mental Health Practitioners! It is practical, user friendly and very helpful! It saves a lot of time from researching information on medications that are prescribed to clients. I wish that this book was available to use as an aide during my clinicals and studies in graduate school a couple years ago but regardless this book has been so helpful and is so worth it!

Easier than Stahls

I am using this book as a supplement for my PHMNP progam. Well written, concise, and provides all the information needed at a quick glance. I find this guide easier to use than Stahl's Prescriber Guide. Well worth the money

Great source for NP's

As an instructor for psychiatric nurse practitioner students, I recommend this book as a good clinical resource for students to review medication indications, dosing, contraindications, common side effects, black box warnings, tapering, and use of these medications in special populations. This book contains a very easy to follow format to review different classes of medications as well as OTC, Dietary, and Herbal supplements used in psychiatry. This book also contains a section on important DSM 5 changes as well as ETC and other brain stimulation therapies which were nicely summarized. The book is lightweight and reasonably priced for the amount of information contained

Excellent, thorough, concise, comprehensives

One of the most thorough psychiatric medication guides on the market. I highly recommend all mental health providers to add this excellent resource to their library of reference books. It is not huge and daunting allowing you to get in and get out when looking for medication information quickly. I would have paid much more for this book
