This live webinar will be held September 13, 9:00AM-10:30AM
Psychopharmacology is a branch of science that focuses on the study of how drugs affect mental processes, behavior, and mood. It combines the fields of both psychology and pharmacology to understand the effects of various medications on the brain and behavior. We will look at the mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, side effects, and interactions of psychoactive drugs. Psychopharmacology is crucial in the field of mental health as it provides a scientific basis for the development of treatments and medications. This interdisciplinary field continues to advance our understanding of the brain and the role of medications in mental health, ultimately improving the lives of individuals with mental disorders.
