Pharmacoresistant conditions in psychiatry

The publication focuses on the issue of resistance to psychotropic drugs in patients with serious 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 field of treatment of drug-resistant conditions and also describes dead ends and research approaches that initially appeared promising but proved ineffective in practice. It explains the mechanisms of action of psychotropic drugs and reveals the genetic basis of pharmacogenomics, which helps to explain individual variations in the effects of drugs. 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 complexity of drug-resistant conditions and more effectively support their patients on the path to recovery.
