First sentence: Jahangiri's Psychopharmacotherapy Handbook- A life Span Approach is justified in being described as the “gold standard” for information on psychopharmacology drugs and it is widely used by psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals across the world. No other reference source examines psychopharmacology drug stability and compatibility in such detail. All of the selected drugs are presented in the same design format in order to facilitate rapid access to information. Specifically, each drug is broken down into five sections, each designated by a unique color background: therapeutics, side effects, dosing and use, special populations,& psychopharmacology. Therapeutics covers the brand names in major countries; the class of drug; what it is commonly prescribed and approved for by the FDA; how the drug works; how long it takes to work; what to do if it works or if it doesn’t work. Side effects explains how the drug causes side effects. Dosing & use gives the usual dosing range; dosage forms; how to dose and dosing tips; symptoms of overdose; long-term use; if habit forming, how to stop; pharmakinetics; drug interactions; when not to use & other warnings or precautions.
