Description

The majority of clients with DSM-5® diagnosis are treated with a mix of psychosocial and pharmaceutical interventions. Newer medications to treat mental diseases are being developed based on a greater knowledge of neurobiological contributions to mental disorders and the most recent pharmacological research. You are required to have a solid awareness of these frequent and complicated situations in order to deliver suitable services. It is critical for a mental health practitioner to stay current.

This audio will refresh and expand your understanding of:

The neurobiological foundations of key DSM-5® illnesses
The effects and negative effects of the medications used to treat these diseases
Non-prescription therapist responsibilities for clients on psychiatric medication

The pharmacological therapy and medications of choice for Depressive, Bipolar, Schizophrenia Spectrum, Anxiety, OCD, Sleep-Wake, ADHD, and Neurocognitive diseases will be discussed. This recording is unique in that it contains information on the most often misused psychotherapy medicines and other narcotics, as well as measures for prevention and early identification. Throughout the day, case studies will spark debate and investigation of the most recent pharmacological therapy for DSM-5® illnesses.

You will go away from this video with knowledge and confidence in the effective and safe use of pharmaceutical medications.
