Pocket Guide to Medications: Anxiolytics, Mood Stabilizers, and ADHD

In today's world of litigation and managed care, informed consent in psychiatric practice is more important than ever and providing detailed information about illnesses and medications to patients and their families is vital to informed consent.
The easy-to-read handouts on psychiatric illnesses and medications in the third edition of this immensely popular -- and above all, practical -- volume are key to helping patients and families understand their treatments before giving informed consent. This nuts-and-bolts resource is designed to help both beginning and seasoned clinicians get started and stay organized, providing a single source for the many practical forms, abbreviated rating scales and instruments, and information handouts for patients and their families used in daily clinical practice.
With an updated format of three rather than two sections, this invaluable reference has been revised as follows: Physician Forms -- Previous forms have been updated and revised, nonapplicable forms have been deleted, and new forms, such as a Medication Log, Clozapine Prescribing Guidelines and Monitoring Form, and Informed Consent to Treatment with Psychotropic Medications, have been added. Most significantly, long versions of rating scales have been replaced by abbreviated versions (e.g., the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale was replaced with the 4-Item Positive Symptom Rating Scale and Brief Negative Symptom Assessment, and the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale was condensed to a single page), and new rating scales have been added, including the Brief Bipolar Disorder Symptom Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.
Information about Psychiatric Illnesses for Patients and Families -- These handouts for patients and their families have been aggressively revised to include current information on new medications, with brand-new handouts about Alzheimer's disease, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and anxiety disorders.
Information about Medications for Patients and Families -- Extensively revised to consolidate the discussion of medications, or a drug class, from a long and short version (from previous editions) to a single version, these medication handouts have been expanded to include information on the second-generation antipsychotics, agents for treatment of ADHD, cognitive enhancers, recently introduced antidepressants, and the new mood stabilizers.
Medical students, psychiatric residents, and busy clinicians treating patients individually or in groups will appreciate the unsurpassed convenience of this indispensable volume, with its complete set of forms and protocols and comprehensive list of illness and medication handouts for patients and families.
Truly the ultimate in practicality, this edition, like the two previous editions, is packaged with easy-to-use, convenient electronic versions (in PDF files) on CD-ROM, enabling practitioners to print these forms as needed.

The groundbreaking What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications provides practical-and essential-information for psychiatric patients and patients and their families in the form of easy-to-understand individualized medication sheets on all currently prescribed psychiatric medications.
Introductory sections of What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications details the key information presented on each medication sheet, as well as web sites, recommended reading, and a discussion of psychiatric medications in pregnancy. 
Subsequent chapters comprise the actual psychiatric medication sheets, which--due to their clear format and style--are both easy to understand and easy to translate into different languages, including Spanish. Each medication sheet lists the brand name, generic name, available strengths, generic form availability, and medication class and then discusses general information, dosing information, side effects, precautions, use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, possible medication interactions, overdose, treatment considerations, warnings, and general advice for anti-anxiety medications, medications for insomnia, antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, stimulants, and cognitive enhancers for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Written by three psychiatric professionals with many decades of combined experience, What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications is designed to overcome barriers (such as anxiety, the “white coat effect”) to optimal psychopharmacological treatment, complement the work of the treating clinician, and enhance patients' understanding of and motivation to comply with clinicians' treatment recommendations by 
<ul>Â• Providing relevant, easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand information about psychiatric medicationsÂ• Answering the most common questions that patients have about their psychiatric medications, including how to take their medications and what the beneficial effects and the potential side effects areÂ• Emphasizing clarity, accuracy, and accessibility of the information offeredÂ• Prioritizing information that is evidence-based and enhances the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications </ul>
Densely informative, accurate, and up to date, What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications is destined to become a classic: clinical psychiatrists will feel comfortable “prescribing” this book, patient advocacy groups and county or state mental health organizations will find it useful when standardizing informed consent for psychiatric medications, and patients and their families will welcome its user-friendly presentation of complex material.

Authored by a pharmacist and two psychiatrists, What Your Patients Need to Know About Psychiatric Medications is designed to provide patients with accurate, easily understood information about the drugs clinicians prescribe: antianxiety medications, medications for insomnia, antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, ADHD medications, cognitive enhancers, and, new to this edition, medications to treat alcohol dependence. For each drug, a three-to-five page handout which can be printed from the accompanying CD-ROM includes facts like generic availability, dosing instructions, side effects, possible adverse reactions, drug interactions, overdose alerts, and considerations such as missed dosages or whether to take the medication with food. This second edition has been updated to reflect new medications and enhanced understanding of familiar ones. The new section on drugs for alcohol dependence covers Antabuse (disulfiram), Campral (acamprosate), ReVia (naltrexone), and Vivitrol (naltrexone injection). New separate coverage of stimulants and nonstimulants for ADHD includes handouts for off-label use of Catapres (clonidine) and Tenex (guanfacine). The book also covers other medications introduced since the first edition: Daytrana (methylphenidate topical patch), Emsam (selegiline), Invega (paliperidone), Lunesta (eszopiclone), Lyrica (pregabalin), Pristiq (desvenlafaxine), Razadyne (galantamine, previously Reminyl), Rozerem (ramelteon), and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Recent FDA warnings regarding antidepressant and atypical antipsychotics are also reflected.
