The Quartet
A learning card game on psychotropic drug classes and individual agents
Highlights
Individual Agents & Drug Classes
The Quartet features 53 key psychotropic agents across the major drug classes: antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, hypnotics, anxiolytics, and medications for Alzheimer’s disease and ADHD. The ratings for these agents are based on network meta-analyses and other high-quality scientific literature.
Educational Value
The Quartet brings key concepts of psychopharmacotherapy to life through an interactive, comparative, and practical format. It is designed for anyone who wants to truly understand psychopharmacotherapy through the playful process of weighing options. It also serves as a compact tool for discussions in everyday clinical practice and supports shared decision-making with patients.
„Educationally well designed. Anyone who truly wants to compare individual agents will find a practical tool here.“
