Description
The publication focuses on the issue of resistance to psychotropic drugs in patients with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, selected anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The author provides an overview of research methods and developments in the treatment of pharmacoresistant conditions while describing blind alleys and research approaches that initially appeared promising but proved ineffective in practice. She explains the mechanisms of action of psychotropic drugs and uncovers the genetic foundations of pharmacogenomics, which help clarify individual variations in drug effects. It also reveals the complexity of research and methodological pitfalls that affect the interpretation of studies in the field of pharmacoresistance. The book is a valuable source of information for professionals who want to navigate the complexities of pharmacoresistant conditions and more effectively support their patients on the path to recovery.
