Antiepileptic drugs are among the most commonly prescribed medications
by both neurologists and psychiatrists, as they exert a number of
effects which extend far beyond their anticonvulsant properties. There
is growing evidence that each antiepileptic drug is characterised by a
specific behavioural profile. Behavioural Neurology of Antiepileptic
Drugs: A Practical Guide offers a user-friendly guide to the use of
antiepileptic drugs and their behavioural effects on patients with
epilepsy and primary psychiatric conditions. Written over 18 chapters,
this practical handbook guides the reader through the breadth of
medications used in modern epilepsy and psychiatry practice
alphabetically, including information on each drug's indications,
contra-indications, side-effects, and important interactions. This
resource covers practical information on prescribing and monitoring to
ensure the reader has the most up-to-date evidence-based guidance at
their fingertips, and diagrams are used throughout to aid visual
learning. With up-to-date content and a practical approach,
Behavioural Neurology of Antiepileptic Drugs: A Practical Guide is an
invaluable resource for consultants and trainees in neurology,
psychiatry, and neuropsychiatry, as well as to pharmacists and
specialist epilepsy nurses.
