About This Event

The Curious Case Of Metabolic Dysfunction In Schizophrenia: Who’s Susceptible & Why?

A recent article1 published in World Psychiatry evaluated the mid and long term metabolic side effects of 31 antipsychotic drugs and confirmed that antipsychotic drugs differ in their propensity to induce metabolic side effects. Given that patients with schizophrenia often need lifelong treatment, careful consideration should be given when choosing an antipsychotic. Join a multidisciplinary panel including two metabolic-expert psychiatrists, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and a licensed social worker highlighting:

  • The heightened metabolic risk in drug-naïve individuals, the added risk when treating with antipsychotics
  • What cardiometabolic parameters are important to measure (and why)
  • What can be done to mitigate metabolic risks when considering risk/benefit
  • Education regarding how the brain and body process sugar and implications for energy production will be discussed
  • Evolution of metabolic guidelines and where we are headed
