Realizing the Potential of Rapid-Acting Treatments for Depression

Optimal management of depression begins with adequate screening and early introduction of appropriate therapy; however, monoaminergic antidepressants, which are currently considered the standard of care, have several limitations, including low therapeutic response times, suboptimal efficacy and remission rates, and adverse effects that may impact patient adherence. This session explores novel pathways involved in the etiology of depression, including glutamatergic and GABAergic modulation. Newer pharmacologic agents, including neuroactive steroids and glutamatergic antidepressants are introduced; practical considerations for nurse practitioners are presented and applied to real-world cases.

Credits: 1.25 Contact Hours; 1.00 are Pharmacology

Learning Objectives

After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Improve understanding of the mechanisms of action of novel rapid-acting pharmacotherapies for depression.
  • Increase knowledge about the efficacy and unique safety profiles associated with novel antidepressants.
  • Augment the clinician’s ability to select appropriate patients for treatment with rapid-acting antidepressants
  • Equip the clinician with the skills needed to engage in shared decision making to optimize patient outcomes

Precision Healthcare for Impaired Reality Testing

This session explores the presentation and treatment of psychotic symptoms. Focus is directed to the treatment of schizophrenia, an incurable neuropsychiatric disorder. Up to 34% of patients with schizophrenia have treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Most current treatments for schizophrenia have focused exclusively on dopamine, which can improve the positive symptoms of schizophrenia; however, these therapies are often associated with adverse effects. None of the currently available therapies were designed to specifically target the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Recently, the development and investigation of agents targeting the muscarinic system have demonstrated that these agents may be viable treatment options for patients with schizophrenia and have been shown to improve the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. This session assesses the symptom and treatment burdens faced by patients with schizophrenia and examines the mechanisms of action, safety, and efficacy of emerging agents with novel therapeutic targets to treat all symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

Credits: 1.25 Contact Hours; 1.00 are Pharmacology

Learning Objectives

After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Conceptualize mental illness in a neurobiological context (with an emphasis on psychotic disorders). 
  • Discuss current approaches to management of psychotic disorders, including practical applications for nurse practitioners. 
  • Apply concepts of pharmacogenomics to the selection, prescription and management of drug therapy for psychotic disorders. 
  • Explore and discuss novel pipeline pharmacotherapeutics for the treatment of psychosis.

The Basics of Precision Healthcare: Introduction to Psychiatric Pharmacogenomics

The pharmacology of psychotropics is complex, and one of the most contemporary tools available to facilitate clinical decision-making is Precision Medicine. Based in pharmacogenomics, this approach combines pharmacology (the study of medication) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to help prescribers make more personalized medication choices. This session lays the groundwork for these concepts as the basis for a multitude of applications in precision mental healthcare.

Credits: 0.50 Contact Hours; 0.50 are Pharmacology

Learning Objectives

After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Review basic genetics concepts to establish the foundation for pharmacogenomics.

Precision Medicine: Personalized Treatment of Depression

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. This science has given rise to the practice of “precision medicine,” which combines pharmacology (the study of medication) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to help prescribers make more personalized medication choices. These include which medications to prescribe to different individuals and what doses will have the best effects. This presentation integrates concepts of neurobiology and neuropathology with genetics and genomics to produce new models for diagnosis and personalized treatment for depressive disorders. The results of the GUIDED study are presented to highlight the efficacy of this approach.

Credits: 0.75 Contact Hours; 0.75 are Pharmacology

Learning Objectives

After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Conceptualize mental illness in the context of epi/genetics and neurobiology, with an emphasis on depressive disorders.
  • Discuss contemporary approaches to management of depressive disorders, including practical applications for nurse practitioners.
  • Apply concepts of pharmacogenomics to the selection, prescription and management of drug therapy for depression.
