Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the widely used tool in neuropsychiatric disorders. It is a valuable tool for tailoring the dose, preventing adverse drug reactions, and testing the drug adherence, therapeutic nonresponse, pharmacokinetic, and drug-drug interactions. TDM is most useful for individualized pharmacotherapy in bipolar disorders. But there exists a death of information on TDM of mood stabilizers in real-life scenario. Hence, this study aimed to assess the use and indication of TDM for mood stabilizers in a university hospital.
