Atypical antipsychotics are commonly prescribed for the treatment of various psychiatric disorders, but their use can be associated with a range of adverse effects. The session will cover the most common side effects associated with atypical antipsychotics, including metabolic disturbances, movement disorders, and cardiovascular complications. Strategies for managing these side effects, such as prescribing adjunctive medications, lifestyle modifications, and patient education will be discussed. Participants will leave this session with a deeper understanding of the side effects of atypical antipsychotics and the skills to effectively manage them in their clinical practice.
