The session is designed to help attendees recognize ways in which pharmacotherapy regimens involving >3 agents for mood disorder patients are consistent with, or divergent from, principles of evidence-based medicine. Attendees will recognize how to differentiate complex drug regiments that reflect logical from illogical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles, and how to craft multi-drug regimens for complex mood disorder patients that capitalize on complementary, nonredundant or non-contradictory drug mechanisms of action.
