Target Audience

This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other health care professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.

Session Summary

The DSM-5 was published in 2013 with a significant change in the categorization of PTSD, from Anxiety disorder to Trauma/Stressor related disorder, based on a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder. PTSD can be a disabling condition and can occur in not only war survivors, but also survivors of child abuse, violence, motor vehicle accidents, and world and national disasters to name a few. Advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of PTSD have led to the recognition of multiple changes in neurophysiology related to PTSD which are new targets for novel therapies. In this session, participants will enhance their understanding of the pathophysiology and most up to date results of trials to enhance treatment recommendations when a standard pharmacotherapy is ineffective.
