Psychiatric Med Minute – Prader Willi Syndrome

On this month’s Psychiatric Med Minute, we’re talking about Prader-Willi Syndrome. Since Prader-Willi Syndrome affects metabolism, it also affects how medications are metabolized. This is a very important factor in prescribing psychiatric medications.

For more information about Prader-Willi Syndrome, visit the Prader-Willi Association website at https://www.pwsausa.org/ .

Did you know that all of our Psychiatric Med Minute videos are also available on our app, The DSP Handbook, for easy access and viewing?

The DSP Handbook also has lots of other useful tools and resources to help you support people who have IDD and autism. Available for iPhone or Android. 100% FREE to download and use!
