Neuroscience-based nomenclature for psychotropic medication/ Elizabeth Hutson, Erin Ellington,and Lyons Hardy - Thorofone, NJ Slack Inc. 2023 - vol.61 (7): pages 9 - 13

Abstract:

Neuroscience-based nomenclature (NbN) is a classification system for psychotropic medications based on pharmacology and mode of action. Rather than the current naming system, which is primarily based on a single indication or its chemical structure, NbN uses current scientific knowledge that provides a pharmacological rationale fro medication choice. NbN limits confusion, especially when prescribing to children, as the medications are named and described in a way that is not stigmatizing or misleading.
