Book Description
From the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, this book gives consumers, their families, and clinicians information about antipsychotics that have recently become available. For people with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, antipsychotic medications are the key to recovery. Yet older medications have serious side effects and rarely affect symptoms like lethargy. New antipsychotics have advantages, but they are not for everyone, if only because of their cost. This book helps consumers and their families weigh the pros and cons of switching medications and guides them through the process of switching. For clinicians, it includes technical details on the new medications and their side effects.

Book Info
Text, for consumers, includes sections on advantages and disadvantages of new antipsychotic medications, technical information, paying for medications, glossary, resources, and handouts. Softcover.
