Abstract

This review provides the general principles for a rational therapy with psychotropic drugs. It covers the discussion on the basics of the pharmacokinetics (with consideration of drug metabolism and the importance of genetic polymorphisms), pharmacodynamics (drug-receptor interaction, receptor pharmacology) and the effects of chronic administration of neuropsychotropic drugs on behavior. The reader will thus obtain the basis and stimulation for further study.
