MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) now have regulatory indications for treating bipolar disorder. There is growing evidence that AEDs in general have a variety of useful psychotropic effects. Antiepileptic Drugs to Treat Psychiatric Disorders is the first comprehensive, clinically oriented reference on the use of AEDs to treat a variety of psychiatric conditions such as mood, psychotic, anxiety, substance use, eating, and personality disorders.
