Manic Mondays - Bipolar Disorder (3 of 5)

Today we'll continue with Bipolar Disorder (formerly manic depressive disorder), focusing in on disease state with diagnostics , definitions, and trends. Admittedly, this would've been an excellent episode to open the series with, and we'll keep that in mind for future disease states. Due to this being primarily a pharmacy and medication podcast, we are providing a high-level overview of this content. More info can be found in DSM-5.

Manic Mondays - Bipolar Disorder (2 of 5)

Today we'll continue with Bipolar Disorder, focusing in on drug treatment with anticonvulsants. We'll go over monitoring, dosing, adverse effects, and concomitant medication use among other topics. Please visit our website below to see other free resources we offer. We would also like your feedback on which voice we should use going forward. Our older voice model lacks emotion but has better pronunciation, while our newer voice has laughable medical pronunciation (as you may note in this episode) but also sounds more natural. I’ve been hesitant to use my own speech due to concerns with the rapidly evolving state of AI and online data scraping. With that said, I’ve included an introduction today with my own voice and a filter applied. I should be much better at medical pronunciation while potentially being less clear with less standardized pauses. At the moment I lack professional recording equipment. ⁠https://linkjar.co/pharmfactory⁠ [https://linkjar.co/pharmfactory]

Pneumonia Revised (Bonus)

Note: This is an unscheduled re-release of content from our Pneumonia series. We will return to Anticonvulsants in BPD for our next regularly scheduled episode on Monday April 14th. We've been experimenting with some ways to make your studies more engaging and have included a few changes in our midweek re-release of the pneumonia topic. We also eliminated several, but not all, of the duplicates. What do you think of the new voice and the more conversational tone? Do you prefer a voice that speaks more naturally and with emotion or a voice that can more accurately pronounce drug names and classes? While even more natural sounding voices do exist, they do not support the pauses we've implemented to give you time to think. As the podcast matures we're still considering all options and would love to hear your feedback.
