CME Outfitters Announces Live neuroscienceCME TV Broadcast: "Augmenting Antidepressants with Atypical Antipsychotics in Major Depressive Disorder" Pre

Rockville, MD (PRWEB) May 23, 2008 -- 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 "Augmenting Antidepressants with Atypical Antipsychotics in Major Depressive Disorder."

Premiering Wednesday, June 11, 2008, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET, the activity will describe the neurobiology of depression as it relates to mechanisms of drug action, and discuss augmentation strategies with atypical antipsychotics for the substantial group of patients who do not remit with traditional antidepressants. 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 (MDD) is a debilitating illness that affects 13% of the U.S. population. Antidepressant (AD) medications, including SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and novel agents such as bupropion, have been the mainstay of treatment. Data from the NIMH-sponsored Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial showed that only one-third of those with MDD achieved remission after initial treatment with an AD; an additional 25% remit after switching to another AD. These findings underscore the need for alternative treatment strategies for patients who do not remit with ADs alone.

Atypical antipsychotics can be effective adjunct medications for the treatment of MDD. These agents have an array of pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties that clinicians need to understand. Translating our understanding of the link between the neurobiology of depression and the differential responses seen among patients with traditional AD treatment is critical to identifying optimal treatment strategies. In this case-based neuroscienceCME activity, faculty will discuss strategies for improving rates of remission, the neurobiological underpinnings of MDD, mechanisms of action of pharmacotherapies, and evidence-based augmentation strategies with atypical antipsychotics.
