Pharmacology and Perioperative Considerations for Psychiatric Medications.

CONCLUSION: Psychotropic medications can be broadly divided into classes, which include antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants. Although most evidence suggests the continuation of these medications in the perioperative period, it is still important to determine how psychotropic medications interact with routinely used anesthetic agents and which medications should be continued and which should not on an individualized basis for each patient.
