Fully updated, this new edition continues to present information in a clear, illustrative, and concise manner. Replacing both Stahl's Illustrated Antidepressants and Stahl's Illustrated Mood Stabilizers, this concise and illustrated guide examines the full spectrum of symptoms included in mood disorders from mania to depression to mixed states in between, the neurocircuitry underlying these symptoms, and the evidence-based therapeutic targets for treatment. Concepts are illustrated by full-color figures, images, and tables making psychopharmacology concepts within this book easy to master for the visual learner. Non-visual learners can enjoy a shortened text version of complex psychopharmacology concepts. Each chapter builds on previous chapters, synthesizing information from basic biology and diagnostics to building treatment plans and dealing with complications and comorbidities. The interaction between the images and text allows the reader to vividly conceptualize complex pharmacologies and a Suggested Reading section guides readers toward more in-depth learning about particular concepts.
