The signature assignment for this course is an 810-page paper

Please

What are the pharmacological medications recommended for your
chosen disorder? Be sure to include basic classification, indications,
therapeutic effects, side effects, and contraindications for the
psychiatric disorder.

What is your role as a therapist in the continuum of care for the client
