The neurobiology, action of medications that affect the central nervous system, and implications for ethno-psychopharmacology will be explored. Standardized tools to evaluate diagnostic criteria and treatment efficacy will be analyzed. Evidence-based practice principles, collaborative practice models, indications for referral, and monitoring to enhance treatment adherence will be integrated throughout the course.
