NON CME RECORDINGS: Part 2: SSRIs and Pediatric Depression: Proactive Problem Solving

---

So, you have started an SSRI for your patient with depression. Now what? How do we know if this medication is effective? How should we titrate this medication? What do we do if this patient seems to have side effects? What do we do if they develop suicidal thoughts on this medication? When do we refer this patient to a child psychiatrist?

Return for part 2 of this case series where Dr. Naidoo builds on previously presented cases to share her proactive problem-solving. Dr. Naidoo addresses the common questions, side effects, and how to handle more complex presentations.

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to: 

1. Review absolute wrongs and relative rights with SSRI decision making and depression 
2. Apply case-based learning to help with problem solving for common side effects with SSRI intervention 
3. Apply case-based learning to help with problem solving for emerging suicidal thinking 
4. Review Q&A regarding challenging cases and apply to current practice
