Neuropsychopharmacology reviews the principles of pharmacology with a focus on the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system. Beyond autonomic and central nervous system pharmacology, this volume uniquely discusses psychiatric disorders and the pharmacological interventions that are available for conditions including depression, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. With a focus on these specific body systems, readers will see end-of-chapter questions that offer real-world case studies, as well as multiple-choice questions for further learning. Beneficial features and content also include two extensive examination tests, which each contain 100 questions for better learning or to be used in teaching, and a glossary.
Helpful appendices cover high-alert medications and toxicology effects on the nervous system. Each chapter will contain classifications of medications, pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, clinical indications and toxicities.
- Describes pharmacology principles pertaining to the central and autonomic nervous system
- Identifies pharmacological interventions for psychiatric disorders including current evidence-based interventions for depression, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders
- Features chapter outlines, end-of-chapter questions, real-world case studies and examinations for deeper learning or teaching
*4 stars* "...combines principles of neuroscience with an emphasis on the treatment of both neurological and psychiatric disorders... [with] evolving information from the fields of neurology, biology, and pharmacology. ...[T]he authors address the treatment of various disorders including anxiety, depression, mania, and schizophrenia.... [and] assert that specific therapeutic molecules can be developed to create new medications to treat these disorders by understanding the biological basis of complicated mental conditions and the role of biological alterations leading to abnormalities of emotions and thoughts. [A] welcome diversion from typical texts which focus on only one of these areas. [C]hapters are replete with colorful diagrams and photographs, which complement the text, providing the reader with an overall experience that is both authoritative and attractive to the eye.” - ?Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Timothy J.
