The book will be addressing these issues: diagnostic issues, when psychotropic medications are indicated, the biological basis of mental disorders and how medications affect brain functioning, side effects of medications, risk versus benefits, how to determine wether or not medication treatment is actually helping and how to integrate psychiatric medication treatment with both psychotherapy and 12-step approaches to recovery.
