The book provides up-to-date data and information about commonly used anti-psychotic drugs and drugs used in bipolar disorder.

• Offers a comparative strategy that helps gauge the suitability of one treatment plan over another
• Provides at-hand data and information about commonly used anti-psychotic drugs
