love this book, it is laid out in a fashion that is very easy to read and has case studies throughout which really test your thinking. I’m nearing the end of my first year as a mental health nursing student and wish i had found this book earlier as so much emphasis is placed on your medication knowledge and understanding at university, and rightly so.
