Session Three: The Art and Science of Prescribing Psychiatric Medications

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 24, 2023 to July 28, 2023

This workshop will discuss ways that medication can be used more effectively to help people work towards their own goals. A medication trial starts with a clear understanding of the patient’s perception of the problem that is hoped might be helped by medication. It must include developing a shared understanding of what is meant by “getting better” and how a medication can help achieve this goal. And it will include a discussion of Measurement Based Care, an approach that can empower patients by making it possible for them to track their targeted symptoms, side effects and quality of life at visits and between visits. This will help patients and their families actively work with you to optimize their care. This information can be used to make decisions about what treatments to start, when to make modifications and once remission is reached how to avoid relapse.
