Now in its eighth edition, The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines is the most
widely used guide to psychiatric prescribing in the UK. Fully updated
throughout, this new edition presents sections on topics of current interest
such as antipsychotics and hyperlipidaemia, antipsychotic-induced hyponatraemia,
borderline personality disorder, depression in multiple sclerosis, and melatonin
for the treatment of insomnia in children and adolescents.
Providing practically useful advice for common clinical situations, this is an
essential text for prescribers, nursing staff, pharmacists, GPs, and those in
related professions.
