(1) Mastering Antipsychotics and Hyperprolactinemia: Understand Basics & Beyond:
Antipsychotics and Hyperprolactinemia: Understand Basics & Beyond:
- Neuroendocrine Pathophysiology: Explains normal prolactin physiology, dopamine regulation, and how antipsychotics disrupt this balance to cause hyperprolactinemia.
- Evaluation & Differential Diagnosis: Teaches accurate prolactin evaluation, differentiation of causes, proper testing, imaging criteria, and key risk factors.
- Antipsychotics & Prolactin Ranking: Compares prolactin effects across antipsychotics, classifies them by risk, and connects findings to clinical outcomes and breast cancer risk.
- Management Strategies: Outlines evidence-based interventions, treatment thresholds, augmentation options, and a practical algorithm for managing hyperprolactinemia.
- Special Populations: Highlights how hyperprolactinemia affects distinct groups and provides tailored guidance for children, women, men, older adults, and high-risk patients.
(2) Evidence Based Benzodiazepine Tapering: 2025 ASAM Guidelines in Practice
Join us for a structured course designed to equip you with the most current, evidence-based approaches to benzodiazepine tapering—based on the newly released 2025 ASAM Clinical Practice Guideline. Whether you’re supporting patients with long-term benzodiazepine use, navigating challenging withdrawal symptoms, or balancing risk-benefit decisions, this course will provide the tools and clarity you need.
- Module 1: Clinical Foundations of BZD Tapering
- Module 2: Designing & Monitoring the Taper
- Module 3: Adjunctive Strategies & Complication Management
- Module 4: Special Populations & Complex Clinical Scenarios
(3) Magnesium in Clinical Psychiatry: Clinician's Masterclass
- Master the “Neurobiology of Calm”: Understand how magnesium acts as a “pleiotropic neuromodulator” to maintain the delicate balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.
- Navigate the “Serum Paradox”: Discover why standard “normal” serum magnesium tests often fail to rule out systemic and brain-level deficiency and how to correctly interpret results.
- Utilize Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Implement a tiered laboratory approach for intracellular status and using specific scale for rapid clinical assessment.
- Implement the “Natural Ketamine” Protocol for Depression: Apply evidence-based dosing strategies that have shown statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms.
- Anxiety and Panic Subtype Matching: Master the science of matching specific ligands to clinical subtypes.
- Break the “Stress-Excretion” Loop: Learn the physiology behind how chronic stress causes the kidneys to “leak” magnesium and how to use basal and “rescue” dosing to stabilize the HPA axis.
- Optimize Sleep Architecture: Use magnesium to enhance GABAergic tone and melatonin synthesis, reducing sleep latency without the side effects of pharmaceutical sedatives.
- Target ADHD and Cognition: Explain the unique ability of a magnesium formulation to utilize specialized transporters to cross the blood-brain barrier, effectively increasing synaptic density and BDNF expression.
- Reverse “Cognitive Brain Age”: Apply the latest January 2026 clinical data to improve memory, processing speed, and synaptic density.
- Formulate “Precision Ligand” Protocols: Master the science of matching specific magnesium forms to distinct psychiatric subtypes.
- Audit the “Magnesium Thieves”: Identify common medications that deplete magnesium and learn how to adjust protocols to compensate.
- Safely Manage High-Dose Therapy: Confidently navigate the “Laxative Threshold” and identify critical clinical contraindications to ensure patient safety.
(3) Neuropsychiatric Assessment of Motor Functional Neurological Disorders:
Neuropsychiatric Assessment of Motor Functional Neurological Disorders:
- Summary of expert guidance from a 2021 peer-reviewed article in J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci
- Structured overview of diagnostic interviews, bedside exams, and testing strategies
- Learn how to distinguish functional motor symptoms from organic disorders
- Improve patient communication and acceptance of FND diagnosis.
