This accessible best-selling text is suitable for all trainee and registered health professionals who require knowledge and understanding of drugs used in the treatment of mental health conditions for prescribing or administering purposes.
Unlocking the enigma of effective medication management in mental health.



This comprehensive guide offers mental health professionals a practical roadmap to the use of psychotropic drugs in clinical settings. It's a resource born out of Herbert Mwebe's extensive experience in mental health care and academia, and it delves deep into the intricacies of treating mental illnesses such as psychoses, depression, dementia, and bipolar disorder.



The book covers four key areas:





the history and effects of psychotropic drugs,
the importance of individualised care,
the critical role of combining medication with alternative interventions, and
the necessity of monitoring and managing adverse effects.






The book provides a detailed overview of the recommended medications for adults with mental health disorders. It stresses the importance of a personalised, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. It emphasises the critical role of combining medication with psychosocial interventions for treating mental illnesses. Lastly, it underscores the necessity of monitoring and managing the adverse effects associated with these medications.



This book empowers mental health professionals to make informed decisions about prescribing psychotropic drugs, leading to improved patient outcomes. They will be better equipped to manage the adverse effects of medications, integrate pharmacological and psychosocial treatment strategies, and provide personalised care, irrespective of their level of proficiency. The book also serves as a valuable tool in meeting Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) competencies in medication management.
