Activity Expires: 06/30/2027
Description:
Depression is common among people with serious illnesses. Palliative care clinicians routinely manage depression as part of comprehensive serious illness care. Although pharmacological interventions comprise first-line therapy for patients with moderate or worse depression, around half of patients do not respond to initial medications. A range of strategies exist for patients with depression who do not benefit from initial antidepressant trial. However, some clinicians may feel unfamiliar or uneasy employing alternative pharmacological or interventional strategies when faced with such cases. Our expert panel, comprising psychiatry-trained palliative care physicians and a palliative care pharmacist, will adopt a case-based approach to explore different strategies for managing resistant depression within the palliative care setting
This microlearning education presents strategies for managing depression resistant to first-line treatment providing palliative care providers with diverse pharmacological and interventional options beyond SSRIs. This activity is presented in 4 microlearning flights to support short learning bursts of education addressing depression that does not respond to an initial medication trial among palliative care.
Learning Outcomes:
Using a case-based approach, learners will apply, analyze, and evaluate:
- depression among palliative care patients that does not respond to an initial medication trial.
- high-yield pharmacological and interventional second-line approaches to care and treatment of refractory depression.
