Pseudobulbar Affect: Identify & Manage

Psychiatry Education Forum Academy’s Coffee Club contains short discussions with clinical experts in the field of psychiatry. Coffee Club’s goal is to get answers for clinically relevant questions in short (~15 minutes) discussion videos so that you can learn and enjoy coffee during your coffee break.

Today we are excited to announce our next coffee club discussion with our guest expert speaker:

PSEUDOBULBAR AFFECT: LEARN TO IDENTIFY & MANAGE

Appropriate identification and subsequent management of Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is clinically important in psychiatry as it can be misdiagnosed as treatment-resistant MDD, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, or borderline/histrionic personality, to name a few. 

Dr. William Sauve will discuss this clinically relevant topic in the following sections:

  1. PBA Definition: using old and new criteria’s
  2. Why diagnosing PBA matter?
  3. PBA: Underlying pathology.
  4. Which screening scale to use for evaluation for PBA?
  5. PBA Treatment: on and off-label options.
  6. Emerging treatment/future directions for PBA treatment.
