Complete information about suing psychiatric drugs and other treatments
From Atavan to Xanax, tens of millions of people are taking psychiatric medication or considering it for their problems. In this comprehensive consumer guide, Dr. Drummond helps the reader determine which symptoms will improve with medication and which will not. He explains how to use psychiatric drugs sensibly and safely, describing all side effects and how to manage them. Most importantly, he shows how to integrate their use with other treatments for anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Alzheimer′s disease, eating disorders, drug dependency, and other psychiatric disorders. The Complete Guide to Psychiatric Drugs is essential for anyone considering medications, as well as for their families, caregivers, and loved ones.
Edward Drummond, MD (Portsmouth, NH), received his medical education at Tufts and was trained in psychiatry at Harvard University. He is currently the Associate Medical Director at Seacoast Mental Health Center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
