Drugs in Psychiatry is the updated second edition of the practical pocketbook summarizing essential information on all the major drugs currently used in clinical psychiatric practice. Beginning with a brief discussion on drugs in psychiatry, the text moves on to consider the principles of psychopharmacology, which form the foundation of the sound, scientifically based use of drugs in psychiatry.

Do you ever wish that there was a documentation website for the human mind and its follies? Or wonder if the brain should come with a user manual, complete with a 'troubleshooting' section?

Well sorry to disappoint you but neither of those scenarios is remotely close to being real. In the meantime though, there's always this book.

Would suit those who want to discover more about their own mind and how various clinicians have pathologised it over the course of the twentieth century and beyond. Also, this whole series would suit those who value reading incredibly information-dense books.

I bought from the mere curiosity of entering to unknown field and I must say it was worth of my money. It helped me more than once to understood specific problem, which I encountered. However for non-psychiatrist it may be sometimes hard to swallow.

very good concise book, 3rd edition is bigger & better than previous one.
ICD 10 based, NICE guidelines in psycho pharmacology.
The best feature about it, is its approach to the science of psychiatry, from normal to disease, so it's not all about labeling :)
a must for practicing psychiatrists.

I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.

It is worth of buying in the discount one price for two. The books are well composed and ready to use for selfeducation.
