Synopsis

A handy, easy-to-understand psychiatric medication guide for educators Education professionals need an easy-to-use psychiatric medication guide that doesn't leave them stumbling over medical jargon and running to additional resources for definitions and explanations. Medication Fact Sheets 2003-2004 Edition is a concise reference tool, offering easy-to-read, one-page guides for more than 85 behavioral medications. The medication guide answers four basic questions for psychologists, social workers, teachers, counselors, and other mental health and education professionals: 1. What is the medication for? What types of conditions or disorders are typically treated with the medication? 2. What does the medication do? What biological, physical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological effects does the medication produce? 3. What are the side effects? What should educators watch for? Are there side effects that may be dangerous? 4. What is the dosage range? What are the effects of different doses? What does the medication look like? How long before the medication takes effect? The fact sheets are easy to reproduce and include helpful appendices that separate medications by class, pregnancy risk categories, and controlled substance categories. The guide also includes a pharmacology glossary and a reference section. Find answers to medication questions quickly and easily!
