Course Objectives

• Understand evaluation of and current treatment options ; • Understand the latest treatments for major depression; • Understand the latest treatments for bipolar disorder; • Understand assessment and treatment of ADHD in adults. Insomnia Assessment

• Sleep onset vs maintenance • Nighttime routine – Setting: dark room, clock, temp – Habit: time in bed, time to sleep, awakenings during the night, early morning awakening • Patients: over-estimate sleep latency, wakefulness after sleep onset, underestimate sleep duration • Sleep diaries

Buysse DJ et al. JAMA. vol 309(7), 2013.

Pluses and Minuses of Prescribing Sleeping Medications + _ • They often work! • Issues of physical and psychological • Initial relief of insomnia, improved therapeutic dependence alliance, • Insidious effects of long- term alteration of sleep • Mood stabilizing architecture

• Tolerance, rebound • Abuse, falls, memory, MVAs • Sleep eating/walking

FDA-Approved Medications for Insomnia

Antihistamine Barbituate • Receptor Agonists • (Ambien) • (Sonata) • (Lunesta) (ProSom) Unknown Mechanism • (Dalmane) Receptor • Hydrate • (Doral) Agonist (Restoril) • • (Rozerem) • (Halcion) Orexin Antagonist Tricyclic (Belsomra) • Non-FDA Approved Medications for Insomnia

Anxyiolytic Benzodiazepines (Remeron) •

Atypical Agonists • (Seroquel) • Melatonin • (Zyprexa) Alternative/Herbal • Root extract

Selecting Treatment

• Difficulty initiating sleep (35-60%) – Short-acting, rapid-onset agent (e.g. zolpidem, zaleplon) • Difficulty maintaining sleep (50-70%) – Longer-acting agent (e.g. eszopiclone) or – Shorter-acting for nocturnal awakening (e.g. zaleplon)

Clinical Manual for Evaluation & Treatment of Sleep Disorders. 2009 Behavioral Interventions for Insomnia

Online interventions appear efficacious • Sleep hygiene education • Stimulus control • Sleep restriction therapy • Relaxation training • Cognitive therapy • Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia • Brief behavioral treatment of insomnia

Buysse DJ et al. JAMA. vol 309(7), 2013. Long-term Treatment?

• No well-controlled, prospective objective data on long-term benefit or consequence • Long-term effects of chronic, untreated insomnia • Some data regarding long-term treatment with zolpidem, zaleplon. • Behavioral interventions may create more durable gains.

Antidepressant Efficacy

• All FDA-approved antidepressants have comparable response rates in placebo- controlled, double-blind clinical trials • There are currently no adequately powered randomized, controlled clinical trials comparing newer medications

Depression Guideline Pane. AHCPR Publication 93-0550. 1993 Slide courtesy M. Thase Thase ME J Clin Psychiatry. 1999;60 (suppl 4) 23 Combining Antidepressants

• Rationale: Two or more different mechanisms of action may yield a superior antidepressant • Not a new strategy: First begun in the 1970s (MAOI + TCA) • Generally safe (except when using MAOIs)

Sachs GS et al. NEJM 2007; 356(17) Antidepressants in Bipolar Depression

• Adjunctive ADs may be helpful if prior history of response • Avoid use if patient with 2 or more concomitant core manic sxs, in presence of psychomotor agitation or rapid cycling. • Maintenance use of AD may be considered if patient relapses into depression after stopping AD therapy.

Pachioratti et al. ISBD Task Force on ATD Use in BP. Am J Psych.2013 Antidepressants in Bipolar Depression

• Switch rates: 10-20% (?) • Unclear if adjunctive mood stabilizers are protective. • Use SNRIs and TCAs second line, as they may promote more cycling/switches

• Chronic neurobehavioral disorder • Onset before age 7 • Inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity • Clinically significant impairment in 2 or more settings (e.g. work, home, social settings) • Prevalence children 3-7% • Prevalence adults 4.4%

Kessler RC et al. Am J Psych 2006 Frequency of Symptom Subtype Among 536 Adult Patients with ADHD

Combined Inattentive Hyperactive/Impulsive 2% • Hyperactivity often diminishes with age (subjective, internal experience)

• Compensatory mechanisms develop over time 31% • Lack of recall of earlier problems

67%

Michelson D et al. Biol Psych 2003; 53:112-120 Adult Presentations of ADHD

• Difficulty with concentration/staying focused • Hyper-focus (focus in interesting, unimportant tasks) • Disorganization (procrastination, time- management) • Hyperactivity • Impulsivity • Emotional difficulties

These symptoms lead to…

• Relationship difficulties – Increased risk of divorce • Work difficulties – Increased risk of unemployment • Poor driving history • Psychological distress – Depression – • Increased risk of incarceration

Yes

Decide whether ADHD coexists with another psychiatric disorder

No Yes

Implement Treat both disorders, treatment plan for managing the most ADHD impairing first

Screens for Adult ADHD

• Not stand-alone agents for diagnosis • Collateral information helpful. • Recall of childhood symptoms may be inaccurate. • Checklists do not determine if other diagnoses my be cause of ADHD. symptoms. ADHD Rating Scales Used for Adults
