After reviewing this week’s resources, you will select a psychotropic medication from the classifications of antidepressants or mood stabilizers. It is important to select medications that are considered “first line” or best current treatments for the condition.
Create a PowerPoint presentation in which you discuss the use of the medication in the management of mental health in relation to your selected diagnosis. Include the following information:
- Provide the DSM-5 TR diagnosis and the ICD-10-CM code. For example, Cyclothymic disorder (F34.0). Summarize the major symptoms of the condition. Do not copy and paste the diagnostic criteria.
- State the drug class, generic, trade name, and selective action on neurotransmitters.
- Explore the common side effects and any contraindications.
- Describe the pharmacokinetics of the medication using the acronym ADME to describe the process. ADME stands for:
- Absorption (how the drug gets into the bloodstream)
- Distribution (how the drug reaches the brain)
- Metabolism (how the drug is broken down)
- Excretion (how the drug leaves the body)
- Discuss stigma, dependency, and other relevant considerations for this type of drug and client population.
- Explore how you will communicate with medical professionals for the initial referral and to address side effects.
- Discuss your role in educating clients on the use of this particular medication.
- Include information about evidence-based complementary, alternative, and holistic treatment medicine. Make note of how these may react with other ongoing medications and symptoms.
Slides must contain enough information for the readers and viewers to glean the major clinical points without narration or voice over. References for the information must be included in the body of the slides so that readers see the sources. Treatments must be supported by evidence.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with three to five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
Requirements
- Length: 10-12 slides (with a separate reference slide)
- Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide
- References: Include 3 scholarly resources
Be sure to include citations with references in APA format and style where appropriate. Please refrain from using direct quotations. Save the file as PPT with the correct course code information.
