Description

In recent years, the importance of mental health and its impact on an individual’s overall well-being has been increasingly recognized across healthcare disciplines. As a result, the field of psychiatry and the understanding of psychiatric disorders have gained paramount importance. This book, Psychiatry Disorders: Pharm.D Syllabus, is a product of a strong belief in the power of education and the necessity for healthcare professionals to have a comprehensive understanding of psychiatric conditions. It is designed to serve as a valuable resource for Pharm.D fourth-year students who are studying pharmacotherapeutics, with a focus on psychiatric disorders.
The core aim of this book is to simplify complex psychiatric conditions, enabling students to not only grasp the theoretical aspects but also to apply this knowledge in clinical settings. As healthcare professionals, Pharm.D students will be expected to provide therapeutic care to patients suffering from various mental health disorders. This requires not only an understanding of pharmacological interventions but also a sensitivity toward the psychological and social aspects of mental illnesses. The role of the pharmacist extends beyond dispensing medications; it involves patient counseling, understanding medication adherence, and collaborating with other healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes.
