Synopsis
This newly revised edition serves as a handy and easy-to-understand reference for non-medical professionals. The author provides a brief overview of over 100 prescription medications. Each one-page, reproducible fact sheet identifies what the medication is for, what it does, potential side effects, dosages, and in what forms it is available. User-friendly appendixes separate medications by class, pregnancy risk, and controlled substance categories. It is essential for teachers, counselors, social workers, and psychologists to have a basic understanding of medications that are frequently used to treat students with psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, depression and other mood disorders, and anxiety. A CD providing PDFs of the fact sheets is included.
