About the Event: |
|
|
| |
Because of his experience using biomarkers with patients, Michael Anderson, M.D., sees that psychopharmacology no longer correlates in a linear fashion to diagnostic categories. Diagnosis is now understood in broad-based spectrums. Therefore, this requires the clinician to look for symptom clusters and to think beyond traditional diagnostic classifications. Looking for alternative explanations for symptoms is especially important for patients who have not responded to multiple medication trials.
GOALS FOR THIS PRESENTATION:
• To discuss the spectrum disorder concept for common mental disorders.
• To review some key, but uncommonly mentioned, symptoms for those disorders.
• To identify potential pitfalls of medications.
• To introduce the concept of biomarkers and personalized medicines.
