Manuals

Although not responsible for prescribing medications, non-medical clinicians nevertheless need to have a practical knowledge of medical interventions for early psychosis. This manual has been developed to support non-medically trained clinicians (primarily allied health and nursing professionals) gain a working knowledge of medical interventions for early psychosis.

The manual covers: principles for prescribing medication in young people who present with early psychosis; an introduction to the four main classes of psychotropic drugs prescribed in this population; approaches to managing medication in young people, including the role clinicians play in this and strategies for addressing some of the challenges that may arise; and basic pharmacology that may be useful for clinicians’ understanding of how medications are processed by the body.
