Register Now for the MPS 36th Annual Psychopharmacology Update

Each year the psychopharmacology update course chair and cochair review feedback from the previous year including suggestions for topics of interest. Also, the organizers have extensive experience consulting with psychiatrists who have psychopharmacology questions and become aware of prescribing issues that are not well understood by practitioners. From these sources a set of presentations was developed. The program begins with a discussion on the differential diagnosis and treatment of bipolar depression. A second speaker will focus on schizophrenia, understanding the role of muscarinic cholinergic system in its etiology and treatment. This will be followed by a speaker describing bipolar disorders across pregnancy and the postpartum. The program continues with a discussion on the treatment of insomnia secondary to major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety in adults. After a lunch break, there is a discussion on integrating focal psychotherapy interventions into routine pharmacotherapy. The final lecture will be on the topic of neuromodulation. The program will end with questions and answers on any topic in psychopharmacology with a panel of the day’s speakers.
