Overview / Abstract: |
Adverse effects associated with antidepressants are common. In addition to compromising patients’ health and quality of life, they are one of the most common reasons that individuals with MDD fail to adhere to their treatment plans. To minimize the impact of antidepressant side effects on the lives of patients with MDD, clinicians require education on how to prevent, detect, and manage the most common adverse effects caused by these medications. In this activity, an expert faculty member will support learners as they are asked to respond to patients experiencing side effects related to their antidepressant use. Two cases will be used to illustrate how a patient-centered approach to MDD care can maximize treatment tolerability. This is one of two related online multimedia activities designed to assess and enhance clinical decision-making through immersive, interactive learning. Participants will use realistic “near-life” education as they make decisions for what comes next – just like real-life. |
