Postpartum Depression: A Significant Burden and a Novel Approach to Treatment

Half of the women in the US with migraine are never diagnosed. Of those who are, the journey to effective treatment may last a decade or longer. But newer and more effective targeted treatments are beginning to make a difference. Join Drs. Jessica Ailani and Dawn Buse as they discuss a novel approach to managing migraine and interview a patient whose migraine journey is unfortunately one traversed by many women.

Understanding the physiologic basis for the vasomotor symptoms of perimenopause/menopause has led to an improved ability to match a therapeutic approach to each individual patient. New and improved agents are helping to facilitate this dynamic. Join Anita Nelson, MD, and Barbara Dehn, NP, as they provide insights into making the right treatment decision for each patient—one that includes ensuring patient preferences are considered.

The recent development and approval of two neuroactive steroids is likely to change the treatment paradigm for moderate to severe postpartum depression (PPD). These agents have a quick onset and function as GABAA positive allosteric modulators. Join Drs. Shulman and Deligiannidis as they address the burdens and impacts of PPD on mothers, babies, and partners, and deep dive into the pathophysiologic role and clinical findings associated with the use of neuroactive steroids in the management of PPD.

Upwards of 47 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraines, often accompanied by widespread personal, professional, and social disabilities. Though a similar prevalence is initially observed between men and women, by mid-adulthood the prevalence of migraine is 3-fold greater in women than men. Newer agents, both injectable and oral and focused on modulating the calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway, have emerged and have proven highly effective in managing both acute and chronic migraine. Join Drs. Jessica Ailani and Dawn Buse as they provide an overview of the changing landscape of migraine therapy, especially as it impacts women across different life-stages.

Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and experiencing non-restorative or poor-quality sleep; it often leaves individuals feeling unrefreshed upon awakening. Symptoms during the day may include fatigue, irritability, impaired focus, and excessive sleepiness. The condition can significantly deteriorate a person’s quality of life, leading to reduced productivity, impaired cognitive function, mood disturbances, and an increased risk of accidents or injuries due to daytime sleepiness.

This educational program delves into the pathophysiology and diagnosis of insomnia as well as the role of the orexin system in the sleep/wake cycle. The program also evaluates the latest treatments, including the dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), daridorexant, and lemborexant, and how these DORAs compare to other insomnia treatments with the aim of improving treatment choices, reducing adverse events, and improving patient outcomes.
