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. This book 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. Written by the leading clinical experts, the book is organized by psychiatric disorder for easier information gathering, enabling physicians to use the text as a standalone reference.
Review Quotes:
"The editors are well-known and well-regarded as are many of the authors who represent the handful of leaders in their respective areas. The overall topic is timely and is covered in greater depth than the usual journal supplements can provide."
--Jonathan Alpert, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Director, Depression Clinical and Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston
