No Longer In Over Your Head: How to Think Like a Psychiatrist in the Primary Care Setting – Madeleine Lansky, MD, Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatriy and Psychoanalysis, UCSF
Many pediatricians are confident in managing "straightforward" mental health diagnoses, such as mild depression or anxiety, or ADHD. But when do you know you need more help? What "red flags" in the history or in early management indicate that a particular patient needs more intensive treatment? And once you make this determination, what's the best way to get your patient seen? This session will teach you how to identify the severe or high-risk patient, and offer tips on first steps and other considerations.
Psychopharmacology for Mood & Anxiety: What a General Pediatrician Ought to Know – David Ansel, MD, FAAP, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Stanford
Most pediatricians in primary care now find themselves writing prescriptions for medications for which they received no training during residency. Examples include: SSRIs, SNRIs and atypical antipsychotics. This session will fill the knowledge gap for providers to feel more comfortable prescribing these medications, including which medication is preferred in a particular situation, how to start and monitor dosing, typical side effects to inform patients and parents, as well as which medications to avoid prescribing.
What Do I Do in the Meantime? Community and Individual Resources to Help Your Patients – Nell Branco, MPH, MSW, School Counselor, Marin Country Day School
Once you have made the diagnosis, it is often difficult to get your patient in to see a mental health provider. What can you offer your families while they wait, i.e., support groups, smart phone applications, self-help, community organizations, school resources, etc.? This session will help you assist families with mental health services beyond and in addition to counseling and medication.
As in previous years, lectures will be followed by a panel and small group break-out sessions. The panel will also include Grace Kodama, MFT. Representatives from Parents Place and Beacon Health will also be on hand to answer questions.
