Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. hosted a special screening of the first-ever documentary film on living with PseudoBulbar affect (PBA), "Beyond Laughter and Tears, A Journey of Hope", during the American Psychiatric Association (APA) annual meeting in Atlanta on May 16, 2016.
The documentary was created by Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an Otsuka subsidiary, in order to "shine a spotlight on PBA and the vast community it impacts, hopefully creating a greater awareness of PBA that may inspire people who suffer from this condition or their loved ones to seek help," according to the website devoted to the film, www.pbafilm.com
