Description

Description:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most common mood disorder on earth and earlier this year was ranked as the number one cause of suffering and disability worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO). Depression is a complex, multi-faceted disorder and many different theories have been formulated to describe its etiology and course. In this joint presentation, Drs. Amen and Yapko will compare and contrast their viewpoints about depression, addressing such topics as the merits of neuroimaging in depression, causes and types of depression, antidepressant medications, the role of diet and use of diet supplements in treatment, and why not all psychotherapies are equally effective in promoting recovery.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Describe the multi-dimensional nature of depression and explain why single-dimension treatments are less likely to succeed.
  2. Summarize at least three key components of effective treatment.
  3. Summarize Functional imaging findings in depression.
