Psychopharmacology

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

UPAEP - Puebla, Mexico: The training of general psychologists requires a comprehensive understanding of the biological and pharmacological factors that influence human behavior. Psychopharmacology provides essential knowledge for recognizing how physiological, neurobiological, and medical processes relate to mental disorders and substance use. This learning allows future psychologists to broaden their perspective on the etiology and treatment of these disorders, assess the role of psychotropic drugs in multidisciplinary teams, and strengthen their ability to design, from the psychological field, basic interventions and preventive strategies aimed at promoting mental health and improving the quality of life of people.
