Overview:
Psychopharmacology has revolutionized the treatment of psychiatric disorders in the last few decades. With newer psycho-pharmaco-therapeutic agents gaining attention related to efficacy and tolerability, their unpredictability can leave clinicians with an imprecise prescribing strategy. Dr. David M. Tobolowsky will discuss the names and indications for some of the newer psycho-pharmaco-therapeutic agents and appraise the scientific data to determine which patients to prescribe them to, taking into consideration the concerns, side effects and contraindications associated with these agents.
Learning Objectives:
• Recognize the names and indications for some of the newer psycho-pharmaco-therapeutic agents.
• Describe concerns, side effects and contraindications associated with the use of psycho-pharmaco-therapeutic agents.
• Accurately identify which patients psycho-pharmaco-therapeutic agents may be indicated for.
