This DVD PowerPoint presentation of a web-based seminar comes with an accompanying audio CD. You can watch the presentation on your computer while listening to a presentation by Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum, an expert in the treatment of SM. This lecture addresses why and when to consider the use of medication, what type of medication to use, proper dosing and how to minimize side effects, duration of use and weaning off medication. As stated in the lecture, medication should never be the sole means of treatment, it MUST be combined with effective therapy to teach coping skills and reduce anxiety.
