Description

Description:

As the rate of depression increases around the world, it is apparent that depression is about more than just "bad chemistry." The evidence is clear that social factors play a huge role in depression's onset and course, and these can be better addressed through psychotherapy than with medications. Key aspects of effective treatment will be described in this workshop.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To list three social factors leading to the rates of depression.
  2. To describe two specific ways psychotherapy can outperform medications.
