There are still many mysteries in the field of brain research and hence in the field of psychopharmacology. It is important to have a grasp of what is known about how these medications work so that one can understand why and how these drugs can help or hinder one’s clients.
Many of the well-known directions for drug development are based on neurotransmitter discoveries made during the 1950s. Medications developed based on these discoveries have already been well explored.
You may have encountered problems with regard to effectiveness and/or adverse effects with the medications currently available. Given this context, new directions for medication development will be discussed. This course earns three (3) hours of CE credits.
