Metabolic Effects of Antipsychotic Therapy: The Challenge for Effective Treatment of the Chronically Mentally 3

Meyer

Synopsis:

There has been an explosive growth in the literature on metabolic issues related to antipsychotic therapy in the last decade, epitomized by the decision of the United States Food and Drug Administration in Fall 2003 to mandate warnings on all atypical antipsychotics about the risk of hyperglycemia.This volume presents the first comprehensive review of the literature in the area, covering in depth important issues such as diabetic ketoacidosis related to antipsychotic treatment, and providing one unified (and easy to locate) set of monitoring recommendations.Discussing the available findings on the metabolic consequences of antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia, as well as other common uses where data are available, this unique text is an essential reference for psychiatrists and pharmacologists.
