Pediatrics
As the number of child and adolescent patients taking psychotropic medication increases, the need to know how these drugs interact with other medications or substances, or about any potential side effects, is greatly increasing for the mental healthcare professional. Edited for child psychologists, school psychologists, NPs, PAs, nurses, school nurses, therapists and social workers, the PDRŽ Guide to Pediatric & Adolescent Mental Health is the second in a PDR series of titles to focus on drug and nondrug treatment options for patients with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, and more. With chapters on these these conditions written by a noted child and adolescent psychiatrist and a psychologist well known for his ground-breaking work in treating addiction, the book is written in a plain-language style and includes monographs specific to psychotropic and street drugs.
