    Abstract:
    The goal of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the optimization of the psychiatric pharmacotherapy. Above all, TDM is absolutely indicated for the prevention of adverse drug effects or poisoning. TDM is well-established for therapies with antidepressants, antipsychotic drugs and mood stabilizers. For anti-dementia drugs, anxiolytic drugs, hypnotic drugs and medications for treating addiction, monitoring is currently applied to the interpretation of side effects, drug interactions and to forensic questions.
