This book provides neurologists with a working knowledge of psychiatric medications. It begins with general principles of psychopharmacology, reviews the spectrum of psychiatric illness in neurology patients, then covers psychoactive drugs in the elderly and treating behavioral symptoms of dementia. Drug-drug and drug-diet interactions that may be seen in clinical practice are emphasized. All chapters in this thoroughly updated edition are rewritten, updated, and expanded. Many chapters include case studies and present the complexity of addressing behavioral, emotional, and cognitive disorders that coexist with many different neurological diseases.
Neurologists, residents, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists and psychiatrists in training will find this practical guide invaluable in numerous clinical settings.
