Stahl's Illustrated: Antipsychotics
This book aims to visually explain the underlying pathophysiology of schizophrenia, give an overview of the receptor profiles of conventional and atypical antipsychotics and provide information on best treatment approaches. The book is divided into 5 chapters for ease of reading and referencing. Chapter 1 Neurobiology of Schizophrenia focuses on the known and hypothetical causes underlying the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Chapter 2 Three Classes of Antipsychotics is divided into three parts and focuses on conventional D2 antagonists, 5HT2A/D2 antagonists, and D2 partial agonists. Chapter 3 Side Effects of Antipsychotics: Metabolic Issues and Sedation explains the importance of monitoring patients initiated on antipsychotic medication. Chapter 4 17 Individual Antipsychotic Drugs describes each antipsychotic medication currently available in terms of side effects profile, dosing tips, and drug interactions. Finally Chapter 5 Schizophrenia Pharmacy and Switching Strategies presents different ways to treat the various symptoms of schizophrenia and describes ways to switch between different antipsychotic agents. The visual component of this minibook is designed to allow for the reader to easily grasp concepts.
