This course builds upon knowledge from advanced pharmacology and pathophysiology courses to examine the neurobiological basis of mental health disorders across the lifespan. Major classes of psychopharmacological agents affecting neurobiological function are examined. Emphasis is on understanding principles of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, psychopharmacology, and neurobiology related to select psychiatric mental health disorders across the lifespan. Using a multifactorial approach developmental, environmental, genetic, injury, trauma, infection, and neurodegeneration influences on disease are considered. Collaborative, ethical, legal regulatory, and safe prescribing practices are examined.
