Program Description:Psychotropic prescriptions to children have escalated rapidly over the last decade. While the Food and Drug Administration has approved several new pediatric indications in that time period, concern is rising that medications are being prescribed excessively and unwisely. Widespread use of very expensive new medications is also proving burdensome to the Indiana Medicaid system.
This timely conference will focus on safe and empirically validated treatment of major child psychiatric illnesses, including bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Indiana-specific data on psychotropic use in the Medicaid population will be compared to regional and national data. Appropriate treatment protocols emphasizing reasonable medication options and non-psychotropic treatment alternatives will be reviewed. This symposium will be especially appropriate for primary care providers, general and child/adolescent psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and behavioral health providers caring for Indianas youngest and most vulnerable population.
