Study a Master's Degree in Psychopharmacology
According to the WHO, there are 400 types of mental disorders. The complex nature of each one means that various therapeutic treatments are often not sufficient to mitigate the symptoms. This is where psychopharmacology comes in. Certain substances influence brain neurotransmitters, helping to regulate the nervous system. However, it is essential to understand the classification of different medications and their specific fields of action, as even a small mistake can worsen the condition. Imagine administering the wrong medication to a person suffering from schizophrenia. This Master's program is the ideal tool for delving deeper into this field. Through ten modules, you will be trained on various topics such as: medical history taking, classification of psychotropic medications, psychopharmacological interventions in depression, eating disorders, and sleep disorders, as well as pharmacotherapy for psychosis and dementia, among others. Supported by flexible scheduling and our Relearning learning model, you will elevate your career to the next level. Don’t wait any longer—enroll now.
