Psychotropic Misuse Trends investigates the increasing misuse of psychotropic medications and its significant impact on mental health. It explores how prescribed use, recreational abuse, and self-medication contribute to this growing issue. Notably, the book highlights emerging psychiatric research illustrating the complex consequences, such as exacerbating existing mental health conditions or inducing new disorders. It also emphasizes how factors like misinformation and inadequate monitoring drive this misuse, necessitating urgent attention.
