NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 71: Psychotropic Medications: Antidepressants, Lithium, Antipsychotics, Anxiolytics, and Their Emergencies

Sarah Mitchell pairs every psychotropic class with the emergency it can cause: serotonin syndrome and discontinuation syndrome with SSRIs, tyramine crisis with MAOIs, cardiotoxic overdose with tricyclics, the lithium toxicity ladder from coarse tremor to seizures, and extrapyramidal symptoms, tardive dyskinesia, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome with antipsychotics. She also covers clozapine neutropenia, benzodiazepine withdrawal, buspirone, ADHD stimulants, and the one warning for each mood stabilizer, with scenarios on lithium toxicity and NMS.
