Back in August, on LinkedIn we offered clinicians a chance to win a free 1-year subscription to The Carlat Psychiatry Report by answering two CME questions correctly. Both came straight from the August issue’s CME post-test. See how you’d do.
The Two Questions
1. Which of the following best describes the appropriate role of atypical antipsychotics in autism spectrum disorder?
A. First-line treatment for core symptoms, including repetitive behaviors and communication deficits
B. Reserved for significant aggression and used for the shortest duration necessary
C. Preferred over behavioral interventions due to their broader symptom coverage
D. Equally effective for both core autism symptoms and comorbid ADHD
2. Which patient characteristic is most associated with a better response to memantine in autism spectrum disorder?
A. Younger age at initiation
B. Presence of comorbid ADHD
C. Absence of intellectual disability
D. History of folate receptor autoantibodies
Answers: 1. B • 2. C
Both are explained in Pharmacological Treatments for Autism, which is free to read.
14 respondents got both correct. Would you have? From those 14, we drew three winners of a free 1-year subscription.
Congratulations
