    Summary
    Adult ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often persists from childhood into adulthood, affecting attention, impulsivity, and executive function. Despite increased awareness, ADHD in adults remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, presenting unique challenges in clinical practice. This presentation focuses on strategies to address these challenges, drawing insights from recent data and provides our experts recommendations.

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss key findings from the CDC report on adult ADHD, including trends in prevalence, diagnostic gaps, and barriers to effective treatment. They also explore the latest research on gender differences in ADHD, emphasizing how these disparities impact diagnosis and treatment approaches. Our experts highlight the need for tailored strategies to ensure more accurate and effective care, especially given that women are often diagnosed later in life and may experience different symptom presentations than men.

    https://www.mycme.com/courses/streamlined-strategies-for-managing-tardive-dyskinesia-9842

    Summary
    Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a debilitating movement disorder that manifests as involuntary, repetitive movements, often of the face, tongue, and extremities. These symptoms frequently result from prolonged use of antipsychotic medications, particularly in patients being treated for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder. Accurate and routine assessment of TD is critical to prevent symptom progression and improve patient outcomes. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is a widely accepted, gold-standard tool used to detect and measure the severity of involuntary movements. AIMS enables clinicians to detect involuntary movements early and track the disorder's progression, facilitating timely intervention and individualized treatment plans.

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic delve into the complexities of diagnosing and managing tardive dyskinesia (TD), emphasizing evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. They discuss the importance of using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), a standardized and validated tool, for regular TD assessment. AIMS enables clinicians to detect involuntary movements early and track the disorder's progression, facilitating timely intervention and individualized treatment plans.

    Learning Objective
    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

    Explore strategies to simplify management and optimally improve outcomes for patients with TD

    Summary
    Though it is widely acknowledged that the gut is our largest endocrine and immune organ, its role in brain health is less well-known. When is the last time you asked a patient with depression about their diet? Mental health care expands beyond pharmacologic treatment, as explained in this activity detailing the influence of the gut-brain axis on neuroinflammation and the role that diet and pre/probiotics can play in mental health treatment.

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the gut-brain axis and its influence on brain health, from its role in the manifestation of certain brain disorders and how we can target the gut to ultimately improve patient outcomes in psychiatry.

    This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.

    Learning Objectives

    https://www.mycme.com/courses/vmat2-inhibitors-in-tardive-dyskinesia-9799

    Summary
    Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a syndrome characterized by various iatrogenic movement disorders resulting from dopamine receptor antagonism. These movement disorders include akathisia, dystonia, buccolingual stereotypy, chorea, tics, and other abnormal involuntary movements, most commonly emerging after prolonged antipsychotic use.

    Vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors are now available in the United States for managing dyskinesia syndromes, each with a slightly different range of approved indications. VMAT2 inhibitors are agents that cause a depletion of neuroactive peptides such as dopamine in nerve terminals and are used to treat chorea due to neurodegenerative diseases or dyskinesias due to neuroleptic medications (tardive dyskinesia).

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the structural and pharmacokinetic differences between these agents, understanding how they modulate dopamine levels at hypersensitive D2 receptors, common in TD. The program emphasizes the importance of VMAT2 inhibition and its interaction with antipsychotic medications.

    This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.

    Learning Objective
    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

    Summary
    Schizophrenia is a chronic and debilitating mental illness that significantly affects not only the health, well-being, and functioning of patients but also their surrounding environment. Promoting resilience is essential for enhancing health as well as treating mental health issues. A fresh perspective on schizophrenia emphasizes early intervention, symptom enhancement, relapse prevention, functional advancement, and quality of life improvement. The importance of personalized care to improve functional outcomes for individuals living with the condition gain insights into the DARE approach:

    Detection – The importance of early detection and intervention in reducing the burden of schizophrenia and increasing recovery chances.Adherence – Shared decision-making for optimal medication choice, focusing on balancing efficacy and minimizing adverse effects that can lead to nonadherence (e.g., sedation, weight gain).Recovery – Functional recovery, quality of life, and achieving personal life goals as key outcomes in treatment.Engagement – Supporting patients in leading purposeful and meaningful lives.

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the DARE approach and how shifting the goals of schizophrenia treatment toward not just response and remission but full recovery and resilience, underscore a holistic approach to mental health.

    Learning Objectives
    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

    Evaluate the latest advancements in functional domains for schizophrenia treatment.Discuss personalized treatment to improve functional outcomes for individuals living with schizophrenia.

    Summary
    Mixed episode bipolar disorders are now referred to as "mixed features" they occur when a person experiences symptoms of depression and mania simultaneously, according to the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This shift reflects a broader understanding of the condition. Understanding and distinguishing these mixed mood states across Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and MDD is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. Additionally, reviewing existing evidence on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of treatments tailored to these conditions is essential for optimizing patient outcomes.

    In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic dive into the complexities of mixed mood states in Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). These mixed states involve the simultaneous experience of both manic or hypomanic and depressive symptoms, creating a unique challenge for diagnosis and treatment. This podcast will distinguish these mixed mood states across different disorders and review the latest evidence on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of treatments designed to manage these challenging conditions.

    This podcast/webcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.

    Learning Objectives
    At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
