Statement of Need
Schizophrenia is a chronic and debilitating disease, and pharmacotherapy for it has focused on the management of positive symptoms using atypical antipsychotics, leading to negative symptoms that contributed more to impaired quality of life being left untreated or underrated. Due to the persistent and chronic nature of negative symptoms, the need for effective therapy with a novel mechanism of action (MOA) is paramount.
This CME Outfitters Snack features expert faculty examining the impact of negative symptoms on remission and recovery, evaluating clinical trial updates on novel therapies with unique MOAs, and integrating pharmacologic knowledge of D3 receptor function as it pertains to treatment selection for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Examine the clinical implications of negative symptoms of schizophrenia on recovery and restoration of function.
- Evaluate clinical trial updates on novel therapies with unique mechanisms of action (MOAs) that address the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
- Integrate pharmacologic knowledge of D3 receptor function into individualized treatment selection for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Financial Support
Supported by an educational grant from Allergan.
Target Audience
Psychiatrists, primary care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who treat patients with schizophrenia.
