Why upgrade now
Move beyond symptom-chasing. Learn to think and prescribe with a disease‑modifying mindset grounded in first principles and primary evidence.
See through misleading trial designs. Understand why many “maintenance” claims don’t hold up — and what data actually change the course of illness.
Make safer, stronger choices. Master when drugs help (and when they harm), so your patients benefit long‑term.
What you get
10 in‑depth lectures (~10 hours) of advanced training by Dr. Ghaemi.
Clear, clinical frameworks you can use the next day in practice.
Evidence walkthroughs: figures, trial logic, and what to do differently at the bedside.
Perfect as the next step after the 3‑part Fundamentals masterclass.
Course highlights you’ll apply immediately
Hippocratic, not marketing: Treat diseases, not just symptoms — what that means in modern psychopharmacology and how it changes decisions.
Maintenance antidepressants: look under the hood. Why enriched randomized discontinuation trials can falsely “prove” anything — and how to read them without being misled.
Stimulants & ADHD: What the randomized MTA data really show; neurotoxicity signals from animal research; the clinical meaning for kids, teens, and adults.
Dopamine blockers: Efficacy vs. disease modification; cortical atrophy signals; why “antipsychotics” ≠ mood stabilizers.
Side effects that actually matter: Akathisia detection and management (and why it drives suicidality), realistic TD risks with modern agents, and which drugs drive metabolic syndrome vs. weight only.
Lithium, properly understood: Acute antidepressant efficacy; prevention in unipolar and bipolar illness; suicide prevention in randomized trials; where lithium beats other options.
Combining mood stabilizers: When combinations add value (e.g., mania prevention) and when monotherapy (often lithium) is enough.
AND MUCH MORE…
Who this is for
Psychiatrists, psychiatric NPs/PAs, primary care clinicians managing complex mood disorders, and trainees who want an evidence‑first orientation that improves long‑term outcomes.
