Book excerpt: Although monotherapy is generally recommended as the treatment of choice, treatment resistance of patients with psychosis, cognitive, mood and anxiety disorders represents a significant clinical problem. In this context, augmentation and combination strategies are commonly employed to address this problem. Although multiple medication use common in psychiatric practice, reasons, efficacy and safety for polypharmacy, and augmentative strategies have remained unclear. It remains unclear if there is an evidence base to support polypharmacy. Furthermore, excessive and inappropriate use of psychotropic medications has been recognized as a public health problem. This volume set is the first comprehensive, clinically oriented, reference on the multiple medication use to treat psychotic, cognitive, mood and anxiety disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Until this century, there was no scientific method for developing and testing agents for the treatment of epilepsy. Physicians would often, from analogy to other conditions, try remedies which appeared to affect systems thought to be important in the onset of seizures. The many developments and treatment concepts in epilepsy research in the last half-century have culminated in the short reign of popularity of monotherapy. Monotherapy is now being challenged by rational polypharmacy, based on the theory that two or more antiepileptic agents with different mechanisms of action may be more beneficial. This volume addresses areas in which monotherapy may be made more rational, and proposes that rational polypharmacy is the natural extension of rational monotherapy. Numerous issues are explored which need further delineation with a goal of a comprehensive antiepileptic drug management program to be developed for each patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Psychopharmacology offers a comprehensive guide to clinical practice that explores two major aspects of the field: the clinical research that exists to guide clinical practice of psychopharmacology, and the application of that knowledge with attention to the individualized aspects of clinical practice. The text consists of 50 chapters, organized into 6 sections, focusing on disease-modifying effects, non-DSM diagnostic concepts, and essential facts about the most common drugs. This innovative book advocates a scientific and humanistic approach to practice and examines not only the benefits, but also the harms of drugs. Providing a solid foundation of knowledge and a great deal of practical information, this book is a valuable resource for practicing psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, medical students and trainees in psychiatry, as well as pharmacists.

Book excerpt: Updated for its Second Edition, this book is the only reference to focus exclusively on natural medications in psychiatry. Eminent psychiatrists from the Massachusetts General Hospital and other leading institutions examine current scientific and clinical data on the applications, effectiveness, and safety of natural psychotropics and acupuncture. Quick-reference tabular appendices list indications, contraindications, dosages, combinations, and drug-drug interactions for each remedy. This edition includes brand-new chapters on acupuncture, homeopathy, and therapies for substance dependence and weight management. The chapter on polypharmacy and side effect management addresses the growing issue of drug-drug interactions. New introductory chapters discuss complementary and alternative medicine in society and examine research limitations and quality assurance issues.
