Pharmacy and Mental Health
Dr. Ally Dering-Anderson, BA, PharmD, RP

Accessing Drugs can be a challenge for all patients.  These challenges are enlarged for patients with mental health diagnoses because of expense, access to prescribers and confusion surrounding any existing pharmacy benefits.  This program will highlight some options for the case managers who work with these clients.

Participants will be able to:
1.   Discuss when long-term, injectable antipsychotics are appropriately used to treat patients with mental health diagnoses
2.    Recognize common side effects from drugs given to patients with mental health disorders
3.   Empathize with mental health patients and their frustrations about pharmacotherapy.
