Produktbeschreibung

Meet the challenges of mental health prescribing in the physically unwell with this essential guide

Treating mental health conditions in physically unwell patients presents unique challenges for clinicians and other practitioners. The efficacy and safety of psychotropic medications is established in physically healthy patients. In physically unwell people, psychotropics can have different outcomes and give rise to serious adverse effects that can complicate or worsen physical health conditions. Many clinicians face difficult decisions about prescribing for mental health conditions in such cases, and reliable information for them is scarce.

The Maudsley^® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness meets this urgent need with a comprehensive guide to the safe and effective pharmacological management of mental illness in physically unwell patients. Covering a wide range of physical health conditions and comorbidities, the book makes evidence-based recommendations on pharmacological interventions. It's an essential resource for any clinical practitioner looking to balance the physical and mental wellbeing of people with concurrent physical and mental health conditions.

The Maudsley^® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness readers will also find:

• Prescribing recommendations for mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, psychosis and bipolar affective disorder
• Detailed discussion of the consequences for mental health prescribing in physical health conditions such as cardiac disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and many more
• Treatment of complex and frequently encountered clinical scenarios such as restarting psychotropics after overdose and steroid-induced psychiatric conditions

The Maudsley^® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness is an essential reference for all prescribers, clinical pharmacists and nurses who work with patients with comorbid mental and physical illnesses.
