The new CANMAT depression update with Dr. Raymond Lam

“They really are the most widely used guidelines in the world.” Much has changed over the past eight years. In 2016, singer Olivia Rodrigo was just starting high school; quarterback Tom Brady seemed ageless; none of us were talking about pandemics. Recently the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) released its first major depression update in eight years. How has depression management changed, and what does it mean for you and your practice? Join Dr. David Gratzer as he speaks to Dr. Raymond Lam, the co-first author and the executive chair of CANMAT and find out. In this episode you will learn: when to recommend exercise (and how to discuss it with your patients) about the role of pharamacogenetic testing how to think about neuromodulation and the reason for the format update to these guidelines.
