Collaboration
One other thing- I was not comfortable passing out the ADHD forms you wanted filled out by teachers, coaches... I do not want him to be negativiely stereotyped any more than he already is. It doesn't help his self esteem. I'll bring in 4 of them, however, filled out by myself, my husband, and our daughters who've lived on their own now for yrs but know the situation quite well.

Collaboration
Stakeholders and Goals The individual student versus the school Whose best interest is being considered “The rights” of the student
IEP and 504s
![Page 6: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collaboration
Parent problems Fears of being “labeled” Unrealistic expectations for teachers and
MDs Physician problems
Lack of time to communicate with teachers Teacher schedule versus MD schedule
Lack of reimbursement
![Page 7: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Collaboration
Teacher/School problems Lack of contact with the physician Pull between the needs of the school and
the needs of the individual student Medical goals may not be the same as the
academic goals Symptom treatment versus educational goals
![Page 8: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Communication
Use of rating scales Release of information
How much should the school know Fears from the family that the school will
know too much The need for school data in order to
confirm diagnostic issues Social data, attention, learning
![Page 9: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Diagnosis
School: ASD MD thinks they have ADHD and an
expressive language delay Physician: Anxiety and LD
School thinks they are oppositional and should be in an EBD room
Parental confusion? Does the diagnosis matter?
![Page 10: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Medications
Basic principles Stimulants, SSRI’s, mood stabilizers,
antipsychotics What are the uses Side effects that impact the school setting
and/or learning
![Page 11: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic Principles
There is no match between diagnosis and specific pharmacologic treatment Example: ADHD maybe treated with stimulants,
nonstimulants, antidepressants
Drug choice is made by the presence of a symptom, not by virtue of a diagnosis For example: antipsychotics may be used for:
augmentation in the treatment of anxiety and depression, psychosis, mood instability, aggression, explosive behavior or autism
![Page 12: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So………
Identify the target symptom
Then choose the medication
![Page 13: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Seven Deadly Sins
Don’t treat Failure to set a target symptom Start meds but don’t adjust Start meds but adjust too much Setting the wrong expectations Failure to monitor Continuing medications with no efficacy

The Old Haldoperidol Thioridazine Thiothixene Proclorpromazine Perphenazine Fluphenazine
The New Clozapine Risperidone
Paliperidone Olanzapine Ziprasidone Aripiprazole Quetiapine
![Page 48: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Differences Between Old and New Old
Less expensive Weight gain Elevated prolactin Tardive dyskinesia Few trials with kids
and adolescents
New More expensive Some may have less
weight gain Some may have
less prolactin change
May cause less tardive
More research in kids and adolescents
![Page 49: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Metabolic Syndrome
All antipsychotics may cause an increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, and risk for diabetes
Draw baseline labs and record weight HgbA1c, fasting lipid panel
Check labs at least yearly, perhaps sooner if significant weight gain
![Page 50: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Weight Gain
Weight gain contributes to low self esteem and medication non compliance
Medical consequences of excessive weight HTN, DM, sleep apnea, PCOS, joint and
back pain
![Page 51: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Weight Gain for Each Drug
The literature suggests that the relative risks for diabetes, weight gain, and elevated lipids is as follows:Clozapine = Olanzapine > Risperidone =
Quetiapine > Aripiprazole = Ziprasidone The additional use of Depakote or lithium
may increase the risks
![Page 52: Mental Health in the Schools: Collaboration, Communication and Medications Elizabeth Reeve MD HealthPartners](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e035503460f94aeee74/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

School Lunch
The elementary school lunches average 821 calories per lunch with 30 percent fat
