Description

You see it in your practice setting, too.  Depressive disorders are affecting patients, often in very significant ways.  With almost 60% of mental health care delivery taking place in the primary care setting and most antidepressant prescriptions being written by providers who are not mental health providers, it is essential you are up-to-date to optimally recognize and manage depression.  

JeanAnne Johnson Talbert, DHA, APRN-BC, FNP, PMHNP, an expert in the pharmacological treatment of mental illnesses will examine strategies to combat treatment resistant depression, share how you can link the mechanism of action to the clinical target for patient outcomes and highlight new medication options available.
