Keeping the Psychedelic
Renaissance From Running Off the
Rails
speakers: CHarles raison, MD; anDrew
penn, Ms, pMHnp
traCk: psyCHeDeliCs
A number of psychedelic therapies are poised to
have FDA approval this year, with more to come.
These therapies represent exciting new ways of
treating our patients, but also pose potential risks.
The introduction of psychedelic assisted therapies
(PAT) marks one of the most significant changes in
available treatments for our patients. While much
research has been conducted to get the treatments
through the FDA, there is much that is still not known
and will need to be considered when determining
how to use these treatments. Complicating matters
are the cultural and policy issues around psychedelics
such as decriminalization and recreational use that
may already be impacting our patients. This session,
led by two expert researchers in the field, will attempt
to disentangle these issues and prepare clinicians to
thoughtfully deploy these treatments.

This session will focus on the importance of
diagnostic accuracy in treating individuals with

be challenging to diagnose accurately, and
misdiagnosis can lead to inadequate treatment or
worsening of symptoms. The session will discuss the
common symptoms and diagnostic criteria for TRD
and BAD, as well as the challenges clinicians face in
differentiating between the two disorders.
We will explore the latest evidence-based treatment
options for TRD and BAD, including pharmacological
and non-pharmacological approaches. Attendees
will gain a better understanding of the importance
of diagnostic accuracy in achieving successful

of life. By the end of the session, attendees will be

improve diagnostic accuracy and provide effective
treatments for TRD and BAD.
