Description

Many professionals like you are intimidated by the risks associated with psychiatric medications:

  • How do you know if psychiatric meds are the best choice for your client right now?
  • Could a new medication provide better patient outcomes?
  • Could drug side effects make your client worse?
  • How do I remember the names of all these drugs and what they do?

Like most mental health professionals you imagine you play no role with your clients and their meds. But you do play an important role in the success of medications your clients take.

This workshop will teach you what you need to know to become better informed, proactive, and effective in working with clients and medications. You will:

  • Determine when a psychopharmacology consultation is necessary
  • Help clients effectively communicate with their prescriber
  • Learn the best prescribing practices for treating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, psychotic disorders, insomnia, ADHD, and more …
  • Learn how to stay involved throughout the prescribing process – increasing the likelihood of medication success
  • Help clients understand that medications treat symptoms – not feeling or diagnoses

In addition, you will learn how medications work to permanently change the brain and calm down the nervous system. By simply knowing the functions of the five neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, glutamate and GABA), you will have a solid understanding for which medications treat which syndromes. We will also discuss the benefits and uses of alternative and complimentary medications as well as what is new and emerging in the world of psychopharmacology.

You will walk away from this workshop with all you need to know to help your clients avoid the risk of experiencing unnecessary side effects, having poor compliance, taking to many meds (poly-pharmacy) or even taking the wrong medications for their symptoms.
