Charles F. Reynolds III, M.D.

In this presentation, Dr. Charles Reynolds discusses evidence-based treatments for major depression in later life, including the best strategies to reduce the risk of relapse and recurrence and achieve and sustain remission. He also reviews an algorithm of pharmacologic treatment options and the benefits of collaborative care and psychosocial interventions, such as problem-solving therapy and healthy lifestyle choices.

Insomnia and other sleep-wake disorders are common in psychiatry practice and need to be adequately recognized and treated. Treatments include nonpharmacologic approaches, like BBTI, and pharmacologic ones, like benzodiazepines, hypnotics, and sedating antidepressants and antipsychotics.
