Product description

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.
