Handbook of Psychiatric Drugs, 2011 Edition PDF

Good news: The 2011 Edition is the third version of the book that I have bought over 9 years -- the book has been that good. Year after year, my patients and I have made good use of it whenever we needed succinct information about a psych medication. I always have a well-thumbed copy sitting on my desk ready for use.
Bad news: When I compared my new 2011 Edition to my older 2009 Edition, I found nothing new at all. My expectation was that a new edition would have the medications that were "new" since the 2009 Edition and that also were commonly in use. For example, medications such as Pristiq (depression) and Invega (schizophrenia) were not in the 2011 Edition.
Suggestion: If you have never purchased the book before, by all means buy it. If you have an older edition, beware.

Once again this small volume of 107 pp. (including an index) covers 17 different sections, including every class of drug used by contemporary psychiatrists. It is small enough to carry in your pocket! Yes, it discusses all the "traditional" drugs along with the newer ones such as Abilify, Geodon, Strattera, Provigil, memantine, pregabalin, duloxetine, escitalopram, Zydis, Soltabs, etc. I use this book every day when evaluating patients in a very busy Level One Trauma Center, and it is just a tremendous resource. I don't know of a more comprehensive volume for the money or the size. Suitable for all levels of mental health professionals...I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Updates can be downloaded at the publisher's Web site! For those seeking a more comprehensive overview look at the books by Stephen Stahl, Schatzberg et. al., etc. Enjoy!
