Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology Made Simple, Second Edition, is organized by disorder and focuses on those problems most commonly encountered in young people-disorders like ADD, depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, learning disorders, and psychotic disorders like schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. Each chapter includes diagnosis criteria for each problem, treatment indications and contraindications, and notes for monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up care. The book identifies popular classes of drugs by brand and generic names, and provides fact sheets that therapists can offer to parents or that parents can show to those doctors who may need more information to make sound treatment decisions. This revised edition includes new research and medication information, updates to the section detailing the relationship between antidepressants and suicide risk, and new sidebars that explain each medication's side effects and signs of toxicity.
The sixth edition of this classic text continues to provide clinically-oriented information on medications used to treat common mental health conditions and disorders in children and adolescents.
