Description

The American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Psychopharmacology is divided into four sections. The first section provides a review of biological and psychopharmacological areas, including neurotransmitters, receptors, molecular neurobiology, biochemical anatomy, electrophysiology, animal models, and pharmacokinetics. The second section presents the classes of psychiatric drugs, including anxiolytics and antidepressants, antipsychotics, treatments for bipolar disorder, and other agents. The third section reviews biological studies by their disease categories such as mood disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, Alzheimer's disease, psychoactive dependence disorders, and eating disorders. The fourth section covers the most recent psychopharmacological treatments for each type of disorder as well as special settings. It also includes an appendix on promising new agents in Europe.
