Abstract
The psychopharmacologic treatment of aggression is a critical component of the treatment of psychiatric patients. This review focuses on the use of antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, beta- 6 lockers, and lithium in the treatment of aggression in adult psychiatric patients. The diagnostic assessment of aggressive patients is briefly reviewed to help identify medical and neurologic conditions that can present with psychiatric manifestations. Relevant literature is presented to help clinicians select an appropriate medication or combination of medications to reduce aggression in psychiatric patients. Side-effects, dosages, and methods of administration of medications are highlighted.
