This text describes a range of problems for which psychiatric drugs may be prescribed, including schizophrenia, depression, mania, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, insomnia, sexual difficulties, and cognitive impairment. The various side effects of these drugs are detailed rather than simply listed. The major categories of drugs for each condition are outlined, and the principal drugs in each category are listed along with their clinical uses, their mode of action and their side effects. The work includes sections on issues of consent to treatment and liability for side effects as well as sections on dependence on psychotropic drugs.
