9:50 AM–10:35 AMClinical Challenges in MDD: Addressing the Needs of Patients With Mixed Specifier and SUD Comorbid Disorders

Patients with co-occurring disorders with major depressive disorder (MDD) experience especially poor outcomes and represent a distinct clinical challenge for mental health providers. Moreover, the addition of a mixed specifier to the DSM-5 has also led to a host

of questions regarding the identification and management of these patients. This session will explore the unique diagnostic and treat-ment challenges presented by this patient pop-ulation and teach you to expertly identify and treat this complex patient population.

The Age of ‘Cyberpsychiatry’As our society becomes more reliant on technol-ogy, it is important for mental health clinicians to understand how this may be impacting our patient population. Technology brings with it both great advances and setbacks when it comes to effectively treating patients. In this session, Dr. Kaftarian will explore how technolo-gy impacts the world of mental health so you are prepared to address the needs of your patients.

10:45 AM–11:30 AMOvercome Nonadherence in Schizophrenia Using Personalized Treatment Strategies

This session will provide you with a com-prehensive understanding of the biologic rationale, clinical evidence, and side effect profile of all new and emerging agents to treat schizophrenia. Expert presenters will also share actionable strategies to optimize your patients’ adherence and maximize the likelihood of treatment success.

Disaster Psychiatry in 2020Attend this session to better understand the stresses that patients and providers face in the aftermath of a natural disaster or traumatic event for a large population. Discover best practices to approaching diagnosis, manage-ment, and treatment of patients who are suf-fering from post-disaster depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, and more.

11:35 AM–12:10 PMAddressing Adult ADHD: Best-Practice Strategies for Improved Identification and Treatment

While well-recognized in pediatric patients as the most common neurobehavioral disorder of children under 10 years of age, the occurrence of ADHD through adolescence and adulthood is largely underappreciated. Expert faculty will lead this session focusing on addressing the unique diagnostic and treatment challenges across the lifespan of patients with ADHD.

Suicide Prevention 360In partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we

have designed a dynamic educational session focused on training mental health clinicians to

effectively identify, manage, and treat patients at risk for suicide. Attend this session to brush up on your skills and make sure you are keep-ing up with best practices regarding treating patients at risk for suicide.

12:15 PM–1:25 PMInnovation Theater Lunches

1:30 PM–2:15 PMTardive Dyskinesia 360: Proven VMAT2 Inhibitor Treatment Strategies

Tardive dyskinesia (TD), a syndrome character-ized by hyperkinetic and abnormal involuntary movements, imposes devastating effects on a patient’s quality of life and negatively impacts daily function and social well-being. Symp-toms are rarely reversible, with a cumulative risk incurred by the extent of antipsychotic treatment duration. Treatment for this disorder was once bleak, but with the developments and approval of VMAT2 inhibitors over the last few years, that has drastically changed. In this session, expert faculty will review the latest data on effective VMAT2 inhibitor treatment and demonstrate how to incorporate these medications into everyday clinical practice to improve the lives of patients with TD.

Are You a Culturally Competent Clinician?No two patients are alike. Every clinician knows this, but how well do you understand the nuances in effectively treating patients with dif-ferent race, gender, or lifestyle? In this session, expert faculty will share insights on how to best approach treating patients with different demo-graphics so you can be sure you are providing optimal treatment to your patients.

2:20 PM–3:05 PMOpioid Addiction and Overdoses: Recent Advances in Treatment and Prevention

Opioid addiction/overdose is the major public health epidemic in the United States and the numbers are staggering. Mental health clini-cians are unfamiliar with effective strategies to address this epidemic, including better practice of opioid prescribing for pain management, increasing use of medication-assisted therapies, promoting use of overdose-reversing drugs, improving access to treatment and recovery services, and strengthening public health sur-veillance. The importance of proper diagnosis of comorbid mood and anxiety disorders, as well as appropriate pharmacotherapy and psycho-therapeutic approaches will be discussed. Sui-cide risk assessment and treatment approaches will also be covered for this population.

Best Practices for Maintaining a Professional Online ProfileMany psychiatric providers experience difficulty deciding how to best embrace the digital age with regard to their practice. From maintaining personal social media accounts to responding to negative patient reviews online, this session will equip you with the knowledge you need to make important decisions regard-ing your credibility and professionalism on the internet.

3:10 PM–4:10 PMVirtual Reality: The New Frontier in Mental HealthSince the mid-1990s, a significant scien-tific literature has evolved regarding the outcomes from the use of what we now refer to as clinical virtual reality (VR). This use of VR simulation technology has produced encouraging results when applied to ad-dress cognitive, psychological, motor, and functional impairments across a wide range of clinical health conditions. But is it ready for prime time? VR expert Dr. Skip Rizzo will illustrate the advances VR has made in psychiatric treatment and discuss future applications of the technology and how it may soon become an indispensable item in the toolbox of practitioners to treat their patients.

10:55 AM–11:40 AMOvercome Comorbid Challenges in SchizophreniaPsychiatric comorbidities, such as

In this session, expert faculty will discuss best practices to identify and address these comor-bid disorders while still maintaining effective treatment for your patients with schizophrenia.

Nonclinical Careers in Mental Health Are you leveraging your expertise as a mental healthcare provider to its full potential? Having a career in mental health can be so much more than seeing and treating patients directly. In this session, expert faculty will discuss other avenues you can take your career, such as news correspondence, blogging, podcasts, start-ups, speaking, and more.

11:45 AM–12:30 PMExpert Opinions on Increasing Functionality in Bipolar I Disorder

Functional impairment in bipolar disorder is a common issue mental health clinicians strug-gle with improving in their patients. Attend this session to discuss with expert faculty how best to approach treatment in order to improve patient outcomes.

Social Media Interfaces and Their Impact on Mental HealthSocial media has taken over the world and while it has brought people closer together, it can also have very negative effects on those who are at risk of depression.

1:50 PM–2:35 PMShining a Diagnostic Light on the Challenges of InsomniaInsomnia is a particularly devas-

tating mental health condition, imposing significant physical, social, and economic bur-dens and it often occurs comorbid with other psychiatric disorders. Despite its incredibly high prevalence, debilitating symptoms, and costly consequences, current management of insomnia is inadequate and characterized by underrecognized and undertreated symptoms. In this session, expert faculty will uncover solutions to effectively treat patients suffering from insomnia.

The Role of Genetic Testing in PsychiatryCould the future of prescribing treatments for psychiatric patients be as simple as running a genetic test to determine which medication will be the most effective? Expert faculty will review the recent advancements in genetic testing in psychiatry and discuss how this could impact your future in diagnosing and treating your patients.

2:40 PM–3:25 PMOvercoming Treatment Challenges in Binge Eating Disorder

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the United States and is associated with significant morbidity and quality of life burdens. Challenges in BED management are compounded by its frequent comorbidity with other psychiatric and physical disorders and persistent patient misperceptions that may limit adherence and engagement. Expert faculty will lead this session to explain how to integrate the latest clinical data and patient-specific consider-ations into individualized BED management strategies.

The Self-Prescribing Patient: How Do You Treat Them?Now more than ever, clinicians are seeing patients self-diagnosing and treating their ail-ments based on information they source from the internet, whether it be from a clinically and scientifically backed source, or a social media forum with advice from others. Attend this session to arm yourself with the knowledge and communication tactics to address patients who think this way so that you can better offer effective treatment options they are more likely to consider.

p l e n a ry s e s s i o n

3:30 PM–4:30 PMTherapeutic Mechanisms of Psychedelics: Changing the Landscape of Psychiatric Treatment?Human research with psychedelic com-pounds has been gaining momentum in recent years and recent trials have shown that they may have therapeutic efficacy for a range of different psychi-atric disorders. It is therefore important we understand this work, including how they may be working psychologically, and in the brain, to elicit these effects. Dr. Carhart-Harris will explain the basic pharmacology and mechanism of action of psychedelics both acutely in healthy populations and in therapeutic contexts.

This session will focus on important clinical topics, including the use of inflammatory biomarkers to guide treatment selection and how to deter-mine which patients are likely to benefit from, and be harmed by, immune-based treatments.

11:35 AM–12:20 PMI Bid You a Fond Adieu: Deprescribing for the Thoughtful Clinician

Some of the most complex patients in psychi-atry are those that are taking a number of pre-scriptions but are still experiencing problems. Sometimes, the best approach to treat these patients is to taper them off their prescribed regimen to help identify and isolate side effect issues. Dr. Rakesh Jain will discuss best prac-tices in deprescribing medications while still maintaining positive patient outcomes.
