2. Distinguish patients with depressive traits due to bipolar disorder from those with unipolar depression.
3. Explain mechanisms responsible for analgesic effects associated with multiple classes of psychiatric medications.
4. Recognize neurologic traits that predispose patients to the development of migraine headaches.
5. Educate patients about risk factors and protective influences that may affect the likelihood of a migraine attack.
