Topic:
As psychologists, we often encounter question whether our clients might benefit from medication intervention in conjunction with the psychotherapy we provide. Many clients are already relying on psychiatric medication when they present for treatment. This Salon presentation offers a review and update of the current practice standards for medication management of mood and anxiety disorders. Topics will include indications for referral to a prescriber, review and discussion of the relative efficacy of medications available for management of mood and anxiety disorders, and discussion of common side effects associated with medication management of mood and anxiety disorders. A case vignette model will be used to bridge didactic content with clinical considerations.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:
1) Describe when psychiatric medications are indicated in treatment of mood/anxiety disorders
2) Compare efficacy and side effects of medications used to treat mood and anxiety disorders
3) Analyze treatment algorithms through presentation of clinical case vignettes.
