Confidently prescribe, monitor, and manage medications for childhood mental disorders.
This game-changing new AAP resource arms you with a unique strategic approach -- plus practice-tested, condition-specific treatment recommendations.

Evidence-based conceptual framework
Ease medication decision-making with a clear, straightforward methodology - based on current research and clinical experience - to help you chart your therapeutic strategies. This simple, systematic approach defines discrete levels of psychotropic agents, and spells out level-specific roles and responsibilities in accord with AAP policies:

Medications for ADHD, anxiety, and depression - disorders for which pediatric primary care providers commonly initiate treatment and assume prescribing and monitoring responsibilities.
Detailed administration and management information for each medication includes:
- Rationale for use
- Evidence supporting efficacy and safety
- Initial dosing and subsequent adjustments
- Measuring therapeutic success
- When to consult or refer

Medications typically prescribed by specialists but often monitored in the primary care setting.

These include both FDA-approved and non-FDA-approved medications for severe or uncommon disorders: antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and sleep aids. To support primary care providers' collaborative role, usage rationales, efficacy data, and adverse effect profiles are specified for all these agents.

Practice-focused guidance
Look here for "hands-on" help across every stage of the therapeutic process:
- Assessing for common disorders
- Assessing for psychiatric comorbidities
- Identifying medication needs
- Informed consent
- Monitoring patient progress
- Managing side effects
- Managing multiple medications
- Stopping or changing medications

Custom-designed for quick look-up
Every section and chapter is formatted to help you find information fast. Multiple appendixes point to useful supplemental resources. Plus, an included digital tool offers instant access to authoritative answers on mental disorders and medications - including exclusive electronic content from the AAP.
