This course is designed for pharmacists and/or other healthcare professionals involved in the medication management of individuals living with psychiatric, neurologic and/or substance use disorders.
The current DSM-5 manual includes a new specifier for mixed features; however, there are no Food and Drug Administration-approved medications to treat major depressive disorder with mixed features. Furthermore, there are two guidelines that provide decision support to providers managing patients with depression with mixed features. Importantly, these guidelines differ in their recommendations namely whether to use antidepressant monotherapy due to the potential risk for inducing a treatment emergent affective switch. Pharmacists involved in management of patients with depressive mixed episodes can provide valuable input to the healthcare team by understanding available data as well as how to best manage this patient population. This program will improve pharmacists’ knowledge of the mixed features specifier and depressive mixed states presentation including common differential diagnoses as well as inform pharmacists on evidence-based treatment options for these patients.
