CME Outfitters Announces neuroscienceCME TV Broadcast: "Exploring Atypical Antipsychotics as an Augmentation Option for Major Depressive Disorder" Pre

Rockville, MD (PRWEB) November 19, 2007 -- CME Outfitters, LLC, an independent accredited provider of multidisciplinary medical education programming and related healthcare communications services, is pleased to announce an upcoming live and interactive evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV activity titled "Exploring Atypical Antipsychotics as an Augmentation Option for Major Depressive Disorder."

Premiering Wednesday, December 12, 2007, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET, the activity will focus on examining the neurobiology of depression, evaluating the effectiveness of traditional antidepressant medications, and exploring atypical antipsychotics as an augmentation option for patients that do not remit with traditional antidepressant therapies. The recorded satellite broadcast will re-air from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. ET. This CE activity will also be available as an archived webcast, podcast, and telephone audioconference shortly after the broadcast premiere.

Statement of Need:

Major depressive disorder is a debilitating affective disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Numerous treatment options with varying mechanisms of action exist, but the biological heterogeneity of this condition often results in differential patient responses. Understanding the neurobiology of depression is critical to identifying optimal treatment strategies for each patient.

Although there are a variety of nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment strategies, data from the NIMH-sponsored Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) indicate that only one-third of patients achieve remission with an initial therapy. These findings illustrate the need for safe and effective alternate treatments that improve outcomes in patients with major depressive disorder. Atypical antipsychotics may represent an augmentation option for patients who fail to respond to traditional therapies. In this live, evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV activity, the experts will review the neurobiology of depression and remission rates for current therapies, and explore alternate strategies for the management of depression.
