Pharmaceutical Care in a State Operated Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Department

Pharmaceutical care in psychiatry is a specialized area of practice within the field of pharmacy and has been selected for Board Certification in the near future. In order to be maximally effective in this clinical setting, mental health pharmacists must combine their knowledge of psychopharmacology, pathophysiology, laboratory data, standardized assessment tools, and federal Health Care Financing Administration requirements, with non-pharmacological treatments to function within a treatment team concept. This treatment team concept aims at maximizing individual clinical outcomes while at the same time minimizing adverse side effects of the treatment regimen.
