Synopsis:
Since the publication of the best-selling first edition of Laboratory Medicine in Psychiatry and Behavioral Science in 2012, significant advances have been made in diagnosis and testing for conditions affecting patients in psychiatric care. This second edition provides a needed update for clinicians caring for adult and geriatric patients across a range of settings. Backed by the author's years of clinical practice and research in neuropsychiatry and informed by the primary literature as well as authoritative sources such as the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Drug Information book and online resources from ARUP Laboratories and the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, this work stands alone as a single resource for psychiatrists and other behavioral health clinicians. With the same comprehensive approach that was a hallmark of the first edition, this edition features new sections on COVID-19, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and DRESS syndrome, as well as updated descriptions of the following: o Laboratory tests, from ACTH to white blood cell count differential (neutrophils) o Diseases and conditions, from adrenal insufficiency to Wilson's disease o Psychotropic medication laboratory screening and monitoring, from acamprosate to ziprasidone. With the book's clinical focus, the reader can be confident that the provided information is relevant to their daily practice. The included laboratory tests were chosen because they are core for any patient, are novel in medicine, or are particularly pertinent to psychiatry or behavioral health. Audience: Clinical psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health care professionals
