Program Overview
The role of pharmacists in the treatment of depression can be a key role. Pharmacists must understand not only the etiology of depression, but also the available treatment options. These treatment options include: standard doses, possible side effects, off-label uses of medications, medical emergencies, and educating patients and their families about common medications and treatments. After completing this program, participants will be able to review the etiology of depression including current thinking about causes of depression as well as review how mental health providers assess patients in order to optimize the best chance of medication compliance. Next, participants will be able to assess the current treatments for depression, including non-pharmacological treatments and the side effects of common anti-depressants in order to provide patients with this information.
