Antidepressant Medications Course

What will I learn?
This course covers the neurobiology of depression, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of all major antidepressant classes, and structured clinical decision‑making frameworks for patient scenarios. You will learn how to select, dose, and monitor SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs, and atypical agents across populations. The curriculum addresses drug interactions, discontinuation syndrome, suicidality monitoring, and treatment‑resistant depression strategies including esketamine and augmentation protocols. Additional modules cover pharmacogenomics, comorbid medical conditions, pediatric and geriatric prescribing, and emerging glutamate‑ and inflammation‑based therapies. By the end you will be equipped to manage antidepressant treatment episodes with confidence and clinical accuracy.
