Gelotophobia: The Fear of Being Laughed At is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE) course that examines a relatively unknown phobia stemming from the behavior of laughter. Human laughter is ubiquitous and has been found worldwide and in all cultures. The fear of being laughed at, gelotophobia, is also found everywhere, yet it is generally unrecognized in the United States. Thus, most therapists and clinicians in the U.S. are typically unaware of this syndrome, and they tend to misdiagnosis it as a form of social anxiety or generalized anxiety. Gelotophobia may, in fact, be a symptom of both social anxiety and avoidant personality disorders but is distinct from social phobia. Exact statistics of the prevalence of gelotophobia are not yet available, but it is quite frequent and can be seriously debilitating in both children and adults. Laughter can mock, ridicule, and demean. Not all smiles or laughter are friendly. Gelotophobes have difficulty distinguishing those differences and so they tend to regard all laughter as negative. When employed as a manipulative tool, laughter can be a source of anxiety, stress, avoidance behaviors, and fears for some individuals. This course reviews the available research literature on gelotophobia and discusses its salient features, possible causes, methods of assessment, and offers an innovative treatment approach. The roles of shame, vulnerability, and guilt in gelotophobia will be discussed, as will symptom similarities between gelotophobia and borderline personality disorder, the degree of gelotophobia in adults with ASD, and the association of gelotophobic symptoms with major psychological syndromes. Many case histories of gelotophobes trace the beginnings of their wariness to childhood, typically associated with being bullied. One major implication, therefore, is for school counselors to be vigilant in finding, evaluating, and reducing bullying incidents on their campus. The related phenomena of gelotophilia (the joy of being laughed at and ridiculed) and katagelasticism (feeling special pleasure in making fun of other people) will also be reviewed.

Nutritional Psychology: Bridging Brain, Body, and Behavior is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course that explores the relationship between food and mood, and how lifestyle factors influence mental health outcomes. Nutritional psychology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that examines the dynamic relationship between dietary patterns, nutrient status, and mental health outcomes. This course introduces the foundational principles of nutritional psychology, emphasizing the bidirectional relationship between nutrition, neurobiology, and psychological functioning. Historically, mental health care has focused primarily on psychotherapy and pharmacologic interventions; however, growing evidence demonstrates that diet quality, nutrient availability, gut microbiota, and metabolic health significantly influence mood regulation, cognitive function, and stress resilience. Key biological mechanisms underlying this relationship include neurotransmitter synthesis, immune signaling, endocrine regulation through the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and communication along the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Current research highlights several nutritional factors associated with mental health outcomes, including whole-diet interventions such as Mediterranean-style dietary patterns, omega-3 fatty acids, micronutrient sufficiency, and the impact of ultra-processed food consumption. Additionally, hormonal balance, macronutrient distribution, and micronutrient cofactors play critical roles in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Chronic stress, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and trauma-related dysregulation of the HPA axis further complicate the relationship between diet and psychological well-being. Through a biopsychosocial lens, this course also explores how lifestyle factors - including sleep, movement, hydration, and social connection - interact with nutrition to influence mental health outcomes. Clinical case studies illustrate how chronic trauma, dietary insufficiency, medication use, and physiological dysregulation converge to affect both psychological and physical health. Collectively, the evidence supports integrating nutritional assessment and intervention into mental health care as an adjunctive, individualized approach. Nutritional psychology therefore offers a promising framework for bridging brain, body, and behavior while expanding collaborative care models aimed at improving both mental and physical health outcomes.

Telehealth: Ethics and Best Practices is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course that examines ethical principles and best practices in remote online therapy. Telehealth, also known as teletherapy, telepractice, telepsychology, telerehabilitation (and a variety of other names), involves participating in therapeutic services through a digital platform. Patients can consult with their healthcare provider via computer, tablet, or smartphone without needing to visit their office. Telehealth is particularly beneficial for individuals in remote areas or those who have difficulty accessing traditional medical facilities. It encompasses a range of services, including virtual visits, health education, and remote patient monitoring. The primary and most obvious difference between telehealth and in-person treatment is the fact that the patient is not in the same room as the clinician. This lack of physical presence can limit the range of information available or how accurately it is observed. Communication can be influenced by camera angle, screen size, room characteristics, and other technical factors like bandwidth that may result in poor-quality video and/or audio and prohibit the observation of all behaviors. This course will provide an introduction to telehealth, discuss the pros and cons, address ethical considerations (such as competence, informed consent, HIPAA, etc.), how to get started with telehealth (including when to use, not use, or when to combine services), offer practice tips (including camera positioning and cultivating trust), and discuss evidence-based uses for mental health, nutrition, speech, and occupational therapy.

Artificial intelligence is profoundly changing a wide range of industries, including the healthcare industry. One of its numerous applications within healthcare is with medical writing and communications. AI tools are already being used for literature searches, referencing, creating articles, and even for regulatory writing. Future directions are numerous and clinical applications and EMR integration are possible. As healthcare providers, we need to stay up-to-date on this rapidly changing technology so they can be better prepared as it becomes a more integral part of practice. This continuing education activity will introduce pharmacists to AI-assisted medical writing. We'll look at how AI writers can be used to create articles and other forms of medical communication. We'll also explore the different types of writers (article writers, chat writers, and writers trained on the user's data) and their advantages and disadvantages.
