DescriptionIs this anything you’ve heard before? Your customers are using a variety of psychotropic drugs that have been recommended by various healthcare specialists. You learn that they have no idea who wrote which prescription or why they are taking the drug in the first place. Despite the uncertainty, you recognize that you still have a responsibility to know your client’s symptoms, responses to drugs, and to coordinate their treatment. It is more important than ever for mental health providers to understand how psychotropic medicines operate, where they function in the body, and why they enhance (or do not improve) your client’s therapy results.
Are you confident in your ability to handle medication-assisted therapies in your overall care plan as both a patient advocate and a protector?
Don’t pass up your chance to learn from an expert in this recording.
N. Bradley Keele, Ph.D., has over 20 years of research expertise in psychopharmacology and teaches clinical neuroscience and psychopharmacology at Baylor University. He will walk you through the most recent developments and current trends in combining pharmaceutical management with psychotherapy interventions for anxiety, PTSD, depression, psychotic disorders, and other conditions. You’ll leave knowing how to answer clients’ inquiries, manage side effects, analyze pharmaceutical responses, and enhance your treatment success.
