Why this book

Looking up a medication often means comparing several kinds of information at once: its formulation, metabolism, adverse effects, and interactions. This reference uses a consistent fact-sheet format so readers can locate those categories without working through a long narrative chapter. Quick-scan tables bring related medications together, while treatment algorithms provide another way to review how options are organized.

As a psychopharmacology book, the fifth edition is intended for readers with clinical training who want to revisit commonly used psychiatric medications. Its sections include antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, and other treatment categories. Appendices address topics such as interactions, laboratory monitoring, and medication use during pregnancy and lactation.

Published in 2020, this edition records the information available at that time. It is useful for study and reference alongside current prescribing information and professional guidance, which readers should consult when making present-day treatment decisions.
