Provides a new approach for primary care physicians in managing the complicated issues surrounding prescribing and monitoring psychopharmacological medications in children and teens. involves creating different levels of drugs. Level 1 drugs can be confidently prescribed by primary care physicians, and the books give guidance on starting, dosing, monitoring, and managing adverse reactions. Level 2 drugs are to be prescribed only by psychiatrists or those practicing pediatricians who have experience and comfort doing so. The book provides guidance for primary care physicians on monitoring specific level 2 medications that their patients may be taking. It also provides resources on clinical assessment, preparation, and conceptual framework for prescribing; what to do if the medication isn't working; and managing multiple medications.
