About This Event
Managing Partial Response: Augmentation Strategies In MDD
Persistent residual symptoms (e.g., sleep disturbances, cognitive symptoms) have known interference on quality of life and functioning of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) who respond to or remit from antidepressant treatment.1 Understanding the inherent challenges in symptom recognition and subsequent treatment, clinicians are tasked with finding optimal symptom relief in aiding patients on their journey towards functional recovery.
In this webinar, Dr. Alex Matushek moderates an enlightening discussion on the current state of clinical guidelines in the treatment framework of depression partial response management with Dr. Roueen Rafeyan. They will reflect on recent meta-analyses and current practice guidelines highlighting the optimization of pharmacotherapy to improve outcomes. Join us for this unique opportunity to learn and grow as we all strive to improve the quality of life of those impacted!
