The side efects of psychopharmacotherapy: conceptual, explanatory, ethical and moral issues - creative psychopharmacology instead of toxic psychiatry.

The side effects are a major issue in the contemporary psychopharmacotherapy. Treatment choices are largely determined by the side-effect profiles of mental health medications. The effects of psychopharmacotherapy result from highly complex interactions between mental health medications and the patient who takes them as well as from the context in which treatment occurs. A high level of care and caution is necessary during the whole course of psychopharmacotherapy to recognize any side effect and respond promptly and specifically. Creative psychopharmacotherapy demands a broad base of pharmacologic and neuroscience knowledge (evidence based practice), personal experience (practice based evidence) and favourable treatment context (well-being therapy, life coaching).
