About this listen

A comprehensive overview of psychiatric drugs, focusing heavily on their clinical use, classifications, and pharmacological properties. It meticulously details various categories of medications, including antipsychotic drugs (both first- and second-generation, in oral and depot forms), antimanic drugs like lithium and carbamazepine, and different classes of antidepressants such as tricyclics, MAOIs, and SSRIs, providing specific dosages and side effects for many. A significant portion of the material covers the fundamental principles of psychopharmacology, explaining concepts like drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination (including first- and zero-order kinetics and half-life), and how drugs interact with various receptor types and neurotransmitter systems. Furthermore, the source emphasizes patient assessment prior to and during pharmacotherapy, noting special considerations for prescribing to the elderly, neonates/babies, and pregnant patients, while also addressing non-drug therapies and the risks associated with adverse effects like neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
