Good book on psychopharm basics

Posted by Victoria on May 10, 1999, at 19:34:45

I just ran across a very useful book: Instant Psychopharmacology, by Ronald J. Diamond. It's by a psychiatrist, aimed at non-medical mental health workers, so not terribly technical, but full of practical info. It covers various classes of meds, with lots of straight info about side-effects, discontinuation effects, etc. Answers lots of the questions we raise here.

Thanks for mentioning this book. I've heard good things about it, too, and I'll add it to my page on books, at:

I think the feeling must be mutual! He lists Psychopharmacology Tips as his favorite on-line resource.
