The Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) is a controversial set of [[psychiatric management]] guidelines designed to enable doctors to systematically screen and treat potential patients for subjectively diagnosed mental disorders within Texas' publicly funded [[mental health]] care system. TMAP is the result of a collaboration between [[pharmaceutical]] companies, the University of Texas Southwestern, and the [[Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation]] (TDMHMR). TMAP was initiated in the fall of 1997 as the result of an intensive effort by drug companies to expand markets for newer, more expensive psychoactive pharmaceuticals, and to provide more uniform early intervention screening and treatment for Texas children. A [[medical algorithm]] is any computation, formula, survey, or look-up table, useful in healthcare.
