Recent advances in clinical trial methodology have led to a change in the way that we view current psychiatric medications, and there is a need for these findings to be translated to the clinician’s office. Trials such as STEP-BD (Sachs et al 2007), STAR-D (Rush et al 2004), and CATIE illustrate the challenges faced by the clinician, and there is a great need to educate clinicians regarding the latest information on epidemiology, diagnosis, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment, and research into new and promising pharmacologic and psychosocial treatments for these serious and costly mental health disorders.
This activity has been rescheduled from October 29, 2009. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope you can join us in December.
