NAMI Ask the Expert Webinar welcomes Robert O. Cotes, M.D., Director of the
Clinical & Research Program for Psychosis at Grady Health, Emory University
School of Medicine, who will discuss the unique and potentially life-changing
benefits of clozapine, an antipsychotic medication used to treat symptoms of
schizophrenia.
Currently, the American Psychiatric Association guidelines recommend a trial of
clozapine if a person still has symptoms despite two prior trials of other
antipsychotic medications — and these trials have proven to be effective
(20–30% of people affected by schizophrenia may benefit from clozapine).
However, despite its effectiveness, clozapine is underutilized in the U.S. and
often treated as a “last resort” option.
In this presentation, Dr. Cotes will help individuals and families better
understand clozapine’s benefits, side effects and recent changes to the FDA’s
Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy regarding the drug. He will also
empower participants to advocate for themselves and family members who may
benefit from a trial of clozapine in their own care.
After the presentation, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will
moderate a Q&A session.
