Most general psychiatrists and primary care providers, on a weekly if not daily basis, encounter patients presenting with mood symptoms; mood disorders are among the most common neuropsychiatric disorders. It is estimated that major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BPD) affect approximately 14.8 million and 5.7 million of adults in the United States aged 18 and over in a given year, respectively. Beyond the sheer number of Americans affected, mood disorders are associated with a significant number of poor outcomes, including disability and death by suicide. Given the impact of mood disorders, clinicians need to be able to assimilate current information from evidence-based clinical guidelines and trials (e.g., STAR*D, STEP-BD) into the care of patients with mood disorders.
This neuroscienceCME Medical Simulation puts the clinician—the life-long learner—in the “driver’s seat” as the decision-maker who is providing care for a patient across two or three clinical encounters. As such, clinicians have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice with this virtual patient, and then translate their experience to their practice with actual patients.
To meet specified learning objectives so that clinician knowledge and competence are increased and more clinicians 1) use measurement-based care concepts; 2) diagnose and manage these patients’ comorbid conditions; and 3) use systematic trials to devise individualized therapy regimens for patients with bipolar disorder.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Assess clinical status through routine, systematic use of measurement-based care concepts and rating scales related to BPD.
- Diagnose and manage neuropsychiatric conditions that are commonly comorbid with bipolar disorder and that require treatment to improve patient outcomes.
- Tailor an individualized treatment plan for patients with BPD that creates a “best fit” between patient needs and the pharmacologic profiles of evidence-based treatment options.
