Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a presentation on strategies for engaging individuals and families in complicated treatment decisions regarding serious mental illness. The presentation was part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI) initiative, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and implemented by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The presentation explores the concepts of shared decision making and informed consent in mental health treatment, as well as various treatment options including psychotherapies, medications, and brain stimulation. It highlights NAMI's signature programs and studies that support their effectiveness in improving self-care, empowerment, and family communication. The presentation also discusses the Dartmouth Center for Shared Decision Making, which encourages doctors and patients to make decisions together. It emphasizes the importance of understanding mental illness and treatment options for families, and provides information on different programs that can support them. The presentation further delves into specific treatment options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), clozapine, ketamine/esketamine, long-acting injectables (LAIs), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), highlighting their risks, benefits, and considerations for individuals and families. The key takeaway from the presentation is the importance of fully engaging individuals and their support persons in treatment decisions, being honest and factual, and listening to and honoring their preferences. The document also provides information on the SMI Adviser mobile app and how to request consultations with SMI experts. Additionally, it highlights SAMHSA's other initiatives related to evidence-based practices and various mental health topics.
