Professional Workshop Series: Psychopharmacological Review for Clinicians Working in Adult Outpatient Settings

October 1, 2021

This presentation will be an ONLINE VIRTUAL LIVE broadcast on October 1, 2021, from 9:00 AM - 12:15 PM ET. While this activity is broadcast LIVE, the evaluation will be online until October 29, 2021. The link to attend the broadcast and download the slides will be emailed to registrants.

The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

The workshop, Psychopharmacological Review for Clinicians Working in Adult Outpatient Settings will provide an overview of some of the latest advances in psychopharmacology research and changing treatment models for conditions we commonly treat in outpatient clinical settings such as anxiety disorders, unipolar and bipolar depressions with and without psychotic features.

Research over the past 5 – 10 years has lead to new understandings about mechanisms of action and the complex interactions of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics that inform medication practices. How these findings have contributed to treatment practices will be discussed.  For example, several new antidepressants and antipsychotic agents have hit the market in recent years which are being used alone, and in combination with the older drugs.  Older TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs and mood stabilizers are being administered according to different algorithms than they have been in the past. In addition, some of the older meds have new indications for use and are being prescribed in new ways to treat symptoms resistant to other treatments. These factors and the sometimes controversial off-label applications of medications are among the issues covered to address recent trends and practices in the treatment of mood, anxiety and psychotic conditions.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.

Learning Objectives

After this lecture, registrants will be able to:

  1. Identify how new research has changed our understanding of different underlying mechanisms of action particularly with regard to mood and anxiety disorders
  2. Identify how new research has influenced changes in medication practices.
  3. Identify differences in diagnostic and medication practices between unipolar depression and bipolar depression in the context of medication treatment algorithms.
  4. Describe the shifting perspectives about off-label use of medications.
