Product Description
Helps with complex prescribing needs
The evidence base for drug treatments in psychiatry ranges from meta–analyses and randomised controlled clinical trials to single case reports, and from NICE guidelines to individual SPCs. Where do you look for information when transferring a patient from one drug to another? Where do you find a clear overview when dealing with a complex patient (e.g, with co–morbid epilepsy or liver disease or HIV infection)? Where can you seek advice on prescribing psychotropics during pregnancy? The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry! The leading clinical reference for handling prescribing problems as encountered in daily practice and for formulating prescribing policy.
Evidence–based and written by experts
This book is the essential guide for anyone responsible for prescribing, dispensing or administering drugs for patients with mental health disorders. All the evidence has been reviewed and summarized succinctly by an expert team of psychiatrists and pharmacists.
New content and improved format
This new edition makes greater use of tables and boxes to facilitate quick reference and includes new sections on cytochrome–mediated interactions and psychiatric side effects of non–psychotropic drugs.
Clinically relevant
Chapters address plasma monitoring, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety, children and adolescents, substance abuse and special patient groups. Each section has a full reference list. The book covers prescribing drugs outside their licensed indications and their interaction with substances such as alcohol, nicotine and caffeine.
Useful for all levels of experience
Trainees will gain important information regarding the rational, safe and effective use of medications for patients with mental illness. Experienced clinicians will find excellent guidance regarding more complex issues that they may not encounter regularly.

(What's this?)
Prescribing in psychiatry is a very difficult and dark art and is involves very specialized knowledge about little used medication with multiple interactions.
Dosage regimes can be particularly hard to follow and a given condition can be treated with many different medicines.
Enter this guide and it will make easy to follow with clear guidelines to support Doctors with the prescribing of medications.
Is the equivalent of the BNF for psychiatrist.
5 stars

Updated format of the essential desk drawer reference book for all who prescribe psychiatric medication. Easy to use, clear concise advice and covers all bases. Particularly helpful in cross-titration of drugs and prescribing for those with multiple health problems.

(What's this?)
The Maudsley Hospital is my alma mater, having undertaken my mental health nurse training there in 1986. One of the most formative educational experiences of my life, which prompted my request for this text.
I don't work in the mental health field now per se, but as a qualified nurse in the private sector, have relied at times on this text for discussion both with my peers, and out-hours emergency service. For of having a few eye-brows raised, with the help of this text, it has saved me from some difficult situations at 03:00 in the morning, when I am looking for some advice from a Medicom practitioner that has been, (may I say clueless), in terms of what/how to prescribe medication in an acute situation.
Because of its specific attention to mental health, the experience within the text is admirable, I feel more secure with this reference text than I do with the BNF.
