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
Sexual disorders and paraphilias
Sleep disorders
Substance-related disorders
Educational Objectives
The goal of this program is to improve management of addiction disorders by increasing the clinician’s understanding of the neuroscience associated with various addictive substances. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Identify brain structures, processes, and chemicals universally implicated in addiction.
2. Distinguish between psychologic dependence, physiologic dependence, and addiction.
3. Assess patients for both tolerance and sensitization to the effects of addictive substances.
4. Recognize common triggers of cravings and relapses in patients recovering from addiction.
5. Describe mechanisms of action responsible for mediating the neuropsychiatric and toxic effects of addictive substances.
