This program highlights the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic issues in patients with depression. This will include reasons for missed diagnosis, changes in DSM-5, and comorbidities.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the evidence base for the treatment of patients with major depression, including cognitive disturbances.
  2. Individualize treatment choices, giving consideration to efficacy, safety, long-term data, and unique patient characteristics.
  3. Formulate appropriate treatment regimens considering the emergence of new investigative agents.
  4. Provide appropriate care and counsel for patients and their families.
