Description - Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs for Children & Adolescents: 2015 by Dean Elbe

Many psychotropic drugs are used to treat childhood and adolescent mental illness on the basis of efficacy in adults, despite not being currently approved for use in the young. The lack of approval does not necessarily reflect lack of safety or efficacy, but it does reflect a lack of controlled studies. The Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs for Children & Adolescents is a unique resource to help you make the right choice for younger patients: Independent, unbiased, evidence-based, clinically relevant Based on independent published literature, including randomized controlled trials, open and double-blind studies, pharmacokinetic trials, cohort trials, case series, and case reports, as well as the experience of leading clinical experts Includes monograph statements regarding use of each drug in children and adolescents Shows approved and nonapproved indications for children and adolescents, as well as for adults Dosage comparisons based on scientific data Unique comparison charts, handouts for patients/caregivers, and much more
