Abstract

Beginning this month and appearing periodically in future columns, "Trends in Psychopharmacology" will cover a new concept and hot topic in the field, namely, that of "multifunctional drugs." The concept is presented in overview here. Future installments will cover specific drugs in greater depth. Multifunctional drugs include those agents with more than one putative therapeutic mechanism of action.
