Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Psychiatry is specifically designed to provide the participant with useful and up-to-date information on accurate diagnosis and appropriate management in all types of psychiatric disorders, including, but not limited to:
Anxiety disorders
Dementia, delirium, amnesia, and other cognitive disorders
Geriatric psychiatry
Mental disorders in childhood and adolescence
Mood disorders
Multiaxial illnesses
Personality disorders
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

1: Determine whether to augment or switch medications if the patient does not respond to first-line treatment of major depressive disorder.
2: Evaluate the adjunctive efficacy of atypical antipsychotics added to antidepressants for treatment of major depressive disorder.
3: Recognize the side effects of atypical antipsychotics as adjunctive medications.
4: Define endophenotypes and discuss their usefulness in predicting response to antidepressant medications in major depressive disorder.
5: Utilize quantitative electroencephalography and the Antidepressant Treatment Response index for predicting response to medication therapy in major depressive disorder.
