This is the introductory podcast episode for the Psychiatric Medication Podcast Series. 

Series Description: Current literature indicates that podcasts can be an effective educational format to reach health professionals across the continuum of medical education, addressing a myriad of topics pertinent to providers. This episode serves as an overview for the series and for antidepressant therapies. This podcast season is the second released by East Carolina University's Office of Continuing Medical Education and may be beneficial for physicians, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses. This podcast season is comprised of approximately 30 episodes, each focusing on different psychiatric medications for the non-psychiatric provider. Those tuning into the podcast's second season will receive a primer on the "bread and butter" behavioral health medications for primary care: antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. Episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays.
