Transforming Mental Health Services
Implementing the Federal Agenda for Change
Edited by Howard H. Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., Jeffrey A. Buck, Ph.D., and Kenneth S. Thompson, M.D.

The 2003 report painted a dismal picture of the nation’s mental health care system, saying that it was so broken that it was “beyond simple repair.” The Commission said that services focused on “managing disabilities” rather than helping patients achieve a meaningful life in their communities and that service providers ignored the preferences of consumers and their families.

Robert H. Chew, Pharm.D., Robert E. Hales, M.D., M.B.A., and Stuart C. Yudofsky, M.D.

For each drug, a three-to-five page handout—which can be printed from the accompanying CD-ROM—includes facts like generic availability, dosing instructions, side effects, possible adverse reactions, drug interactions, overdose alerts, and considerations such as missed dosages or whether to take the medication with food.
