Topic: Managing Clinical Complexity in 2024 - Trends in Depression Management
Educational Objectives:
1. Identify how, and why, clinical complexity has increased in depression care in the past generation.
2. Clarify the relative benefits and risks of antidepressant strategies for treatment resistant depression in older adults.
3. Know an evidence-based treatment algorithm for caring for older adults with depression.
Psychiatric treatment has greatly increased in complexity in the past generation. This is due to more treatments being available, the higher complexity of some of these treatments, the aging of the population, and the increased use of multiple medications. As a result, psychiatrists must be able to manage this higher complexity. Dr. Lenze will describe new research that allows for an evidence-based way to manage complex patients with a focus on geriatric depression care.
