Summary
Adult ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often persists from childhood into adulthood, affecting attention, impulsivity, and executive function. Despite increased awareness, ADHD in adults remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, presenting unique challenges in clinical practice. This presentation focuses on strategies to address these challenges, drawing insights from recent data and provides our experts recommendations.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss key findings from the CDC report on adult ADHD, including trends in prevalence, diagnostic gaps, and barriers to effective treatment. They also explore the latest research on gender differences in ADHD, emphasizing how these disparities impact diagnosis and treatment approaches. Our experts highlight the need for tailored strategies to ensure more accurate and effective care, especially given that women are often diagnosed later in life and may experience different symptom presentations than men.

This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Review key insights from the CDC report regarding the prevalence, diagnosis trends, and treatment challenges of ADHD in adults
• Examine the latest data on gender differences in ADHD diagnosis and treatment

Summary
In this activity – which learners can review as a podcast or a webcast - Drs. Chafic Karam and Michelle Kittleson dive into five key questions from recent live-virtual broadcasts about transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). They discuss the role of cardiac MRI, biopsy, and genetic testing in diagnosing ATTR cardiomyopathy and polyneuropathy. They also explore treatment options, including silencing therapies and stabilizers, with insights into when patients should be referred for specialized care. The conversation emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, collaborative care between neurologists and cardiologists, and the expanding therapeutic landscape for ATTR.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Describe the correct diagnostic algorithm for suspected ATTR, including interpretation of the monoclonal protein screen and indications for biopsy and genetic testing.
• Initiate appropriate management, including disease-directed therapy and appropriate cardiac care, or referral when indicated.

https://www.mycme.com/courses/streamlined-strategies-for-managing-tardive-dyskinesia-9842

Summary
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a debilitating movement disorder that manifests as involuntary, repetitive movements, often of the face, tongue, and extremities. These symptoms frequently result from prolonged use of antipsychotic medications, particularly in patients being treated for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder. Accurate and routine assessment of TD is critical to prevent symptom progression and improve patient outcomes. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is a widely accepted, gold-standard tool used to detect and measure the severity of involuntary movements. AIMS enables clinicians to detect involuntary movements early and track the disorder's progression, facilitating timely intervention and individualized treatment plans.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic delve into the complexities of diagnosing and managing tardive dyskinesia (TD), emphasizing evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes. They discuss the importance of using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), a standardized and validated tool, for regular TD assessment. AIMS enables clinicians to detect involuntary movements early and track the disorder's progression, facilitating timely intervention and individualized treatment plans.

Learning Objective
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Explore strategies to simplify management and optimally improve outcomes for patients with TD

Summary
Though it is widely acknowledged that the gut is our largest endocrine and immune organ, its role in brain health is less well-known. When is the last time you asked a patient with depression about their diet? Mental health care expands beyond pharmacologic treatment, as explained in this activity detailing the influence of the gut-brain axis on neuroinflammation and the role that diet and pre/probiotics can play in mental health treatment.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the gut-brain axis and its influence on brain health, from its role in the manifestation of certain brain disorders and how we can target the gut to ultimately improve patient outcomes in psychiatry.

This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Identify the key mechanisms of the gut-brain axis influence on brain disorders.
• Discuss ways of incorporating understanding of gut dysbiosis into comprehensive treatment of psychiatric disorders.
