The most up-to-date edition of the gold-standard handbook on the safe and effective prescribing of psychotropic agents
Prescribing medications that treat mental illness is a challenging but essential component of clinical practice. Successful treatment outcomes require careful drug choice and dosage, and other considerations can also have an important impact on patient experiences and long-term care.
In the newly revised fifteenth edition of The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry, you will find up-to-date and authoritative guidance on prescribing psychotropic medications to patients. It is an indispensable evidence-based handbook that will continue to serve a new generation of clinicians and trainees.
The book includes analyses of all psychotropic drugs currently used in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. It also contains detailed discussions of common and uncommon adverse effects, the ramifications of switching medications, special patient groups, and other clinically relevant subjects. A fully updated reference list closes out each section, as well.
The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry is perfect for trainees seeking essential and accurate information on the rational, safe, and effective use of medications for patients with mental illness.

Meet the challenges of mental health prescribing in the physically unwell with this essential guide
Treating mental health conditions in physically unwell patients presents unique challenges for clinicians and other practitioners. The efficacy and safety of psychotropic medications is established in physically healthy patients. In physically unwell people, psychotropics can have different outcomes and give rise to serious adverse effects that can complicate or worsen physical health conditions. Many clinicians face difficult decisions about prescribing for mental health conditions in such cases, and reliable information for them is scarce.
The Maudsley® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness meets this urgent need with a comprehensive guide to the safe and effective pharmacological management of mental illness in physically unwell patients. Covering a wide range of physical health conditions and comorbidities, the book makes evidence-based recommendations on pharmacological interventions. It’s an essential resource for any clinical practitioner looking to balance the physical and mental wellbeing of people with concurrent physical and mental health conditions.
The Maudsley® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness readers will also find:
Prescribing recommendations for mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, psychosis and bipolar affective disorder
Detailed discussion of the consequences for mental health prescribing in physical health conditions such as cardiac disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and many more
Treatment of complex and frequently encountered clinical scenarios such as restarting psychotropics after overdose and steroid-induced psychiatric conditions
The Maudsley® Prescribing Guidelines for Mental Health Conditions in Physical Illness is an essential reference for all prescribers, clinical pharmacists and nurses who work with patients with comorbid mental and physical illnesses.
The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines
Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs

editore: Wiley-Blackwell
pagine: 592
The Maudsley® Deprescribing Guidelines Comprehensive resource describing guidelines for safely reducing or stopping (deprescribing) antidepressants, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids and z-drugs for patients, including step-by-step guidance for all commonly used medications, covering common pitfalls, troubleshooting, supportive strategies, and more.
Most formal guidance on psychiatric medication relates to starting or switching medications with minimal guidance on deprescribing medication. In 2023, the World Health Organisation and the United Nations called for patients, as a human right, to be informed of their right to discontinue treatment and to receive support to do so.
The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines fills a significant gap in guidance for clinicians by providing comprehensive and authoritative information on this important aspect of treatment.
This evidence-based handbook provides an overview of principles to be used in deprescribing. This is derived from fundamental scientific principles and the latest research on this topic, combined with emerging insights from clinical practice (including from patient experts).
Building on the recognised brand of The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, and the prominence of the authors’ work, including in The Lancet Psychiatry on tapering antidepressants (the most read article across all Lancet titles when it was released). The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines covers topics such as:
Why and when to deprescribe antidepressants, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids and z-drugs
Barriers and enablers to deprescribing including physical dependence, social circumstances, and knowledge about the discontinuation process
Distinguishing withdrawal symptoms, such as poor mood, anxiety, insomnia, and a variety of physical symptoms from symptoms of the underlying disorder that medication was intended to treat
The difference between physical dependence and addiction/substance use disorder
Explanation of why and how to implement hyperbolic tapering in clinical practice
Specific guidance on formulations of medication and techniques for making gradual reductions, including using liquid forms of medication, and other approaches
Step-by-step guidance for safely stopping all commonly used antidepressants, benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids and z-drugs, including fast, moderate and slow tapering regimens or schedules for each drug, and guidance on how to tailor these to an individual
Troubleshooting issues which can arise on stopping these medications, including akathisia, withdrawal symptoms, acute or protracted, and relapse.
Written for anyone interested in safe deprescribing of psychiatric medications including psychiatrists, GPs, pharmacists, nurses, medical trainees, and interested members of the public. The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines is an essential resource on the subject that provides practical guidance on how to improve patient outcomes in this field of medicine.

PrefazioneLa 14esima edizione delle Linee Guida è stata scritta nel corso del verificarsi di una circostanza straordinaria: la pandemia da coronavirus. Questo fenomeno globale ha modificato radicalmente le vite e le pratiche lavorative di miliardi di persone e la maggior parte di noi, oggi, ha conosciuto, personalmente o indirettamente, la grave malattia fisica associata al COVID-19. Ad esserne particolarmente colpiti sono stati gli operatori sanitari che si trovano ad essere a contatto con quanti si sono ammalati, rischiando essi stessi di contrarre l’infezione. In un simile contesto, la stesura di un libro ha una priorità estremamente bassa, se non addirittura nulla. È tenendo conto di ciò che rivolgo il mio più vivo e sincero ringraziamento a tutti coloro che hanno contribuito alla realizzazione di questa edizione delle Linee Guida in condizioni così difficili. Naturalmente, durante la pandemia, i problemi di salute mentale non sono scomparsi e il trattamento ottimale delle malattie mentali rimane un imperativo vitale. Tale obiettivo diventa ancora più importante quando affrontiamo le conseguenze della pandemia. Questa edizione delle Linee Guida è stata accuratamente aggiornata ed include le ricerche più influenti pubblicate a partire dal 2017 e tutti i principali farmaci psicotropi che sono stati da allora introdotti. Questa edizione prevede inoltre nuove sezioni dedicate a temi quali il delirium con agitazione, l’impiego dei farmaci psicotropi nei pazienti terminali, le formulazioni dei farmaci psicotropi da somministrare per via endovenosa, la somministrazione di clozapina per via intramuscolare e la somministrazione settimanale di penfluridolo per via orale. Come le precedenti, questa 14esima edizione è stata realizzata con l’intento di avere un’utilità a livello mondiale, pur avendo una certa influenza soprattutto nel Regno Unito. Vorrei rivolgere un ringraziamento particolare a Siobhan Gee per il meticoloso lavoro compiuto sull’impiego della clozapina, a Mark Horowitz per le indicazioni basate sull’evidenza e incentrate sul paziente in relazione alla cessazione della somministrazione dei farmaci psicotropi, a Delia Bishara, la quale si è occupata praticamente da sola del capitolo dedicato agli anziani e a Ian Osborne per il contributo fornito in relazione ad una gamma eccezionalmente ampia di temi. Un riconoscimento particolare merita Emily Finch per l’organizzazione della stesura del capitolo sulle dipendenze nelle ultime dieci edizioni del le Linee Guida. Infine voglio porgere il mio ringraziamento alla mia assistente Ivana Clark, che ha contribuito alla realizzazione di questa edizione con pazienza e incomparabile attenzione al dettaglio.
