Serotonin syndrome, also known as serotonin toxicity, poses a significant clinical challenge due to its potentially life-threatening nature and diverse etiology. Resulting of excessive serotonergic activity in the central nervous system, this condition arises from various sources, including therapeutic medication use, drug interactions, and intentional overdoses. Despite its severity, serotonin syndrome’s clinical spectrum ranges from mild to fatal, manifesting with symptoms such as altered mental status, autonomic dysfunction, and neuromuscular excitation.This course highlights clinicians’ challenges in distinguishing serotonin syndrome from other toxicities, underscoring the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in prompt recognition and management. Furthermore, the course emphasizes the indispensable role of interprofessional teamwork in optimizing patient outcomes. By fostering collaboration and communication among team members, participants will learn how to leverage expertise and resources to ensure timely intervention and enhance patient care.
