- Over 90% of the population uses psychoactive substances on a regular basis, making it essential for all healthcare providers to be knowledgeable about both prescription and recreational drugs.

For anyone preparing to meet the mental health needs of their patients, Memorable Psychopharmacology is an indispensable review.
