MODULE 01~45 min
Foundations
Neurotransmission, receptor pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics — the model everything else hangs on.
- 🔒 Synapses, receptors & signaling
- 🔒 Half-life, steady state & titration
- 🔒 CYP metabolism & interactions
The course · Antidepressants
From receptor to prescription, in six modules.
A structured, clinician-first course on antidepressants — built around the decisions you actually make, not the facts you can already look up. Short videos, real cases, mechanism diagrams, and decision frameworks you'll reuse for the rest of your career.
What you'll be able to do
Reason about antidepressants like an attending.
By the end of the course, the goal is fluency — not recall. You'll be able to:
Predict effects from mechanism
Anticipate efficacy and side effects from receptor activity, not a memorized table.
Choose a first agent deliberately
Match a medication to a specific patient's symptoms, history, and risks.
Sequence the next step
Switch, augment, or combine with a clear rationale when the first try falls short.
Manage side effects proactively
Use decision trees for the problems that drive nonadherence.
Counsel patients clearly
Explain the "why" of a medication in language a patient can act on.
Teach it forward
Explain SSRI differences to a resident or student without notes.

From clinicians who've taken it
What prescribers are saying.
"One of the clearest and most clinically useful antidepressant courses I've seen. It goes far beyond memorizing mechanisms and instead teaches the reasoning that matters in real patient care — choosing the right agent, anticipating side effects, and understanding how pharmacology translates into outcomes. I would highly recommend it to psychiatrists, residents, and any clinician who wants to prescribe antidepressants with greater confidence and precision."
Board-Certified Psychiatrist · Zucker Hillside Hospital / Northwell
"This course is outstanding. PsychoFarm makes complex antidepressant pharmacology feel clear, practical, and relevant to everyday clinical decisions. I especially appreciated the focus on real-world prescribing, side effect management, and how to individualize medication choices. The 50+ videos are easy to follow, packed with useful pearls, and genuinely improved the way I think about antidepressants."
Board-Certified Psychiatric NP · NYU & Mount Sinai trained
"I'm a PMHNP student, and this course made me feel far ahead of my program. Easily the most useful and clear psychopharm education I've found."
