About This Event
Digital Mental Health Treatments: The Role Of Neurobehavioral Therapies In Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
There is a significant unmet need for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who fail to achieve an adequate response to current treatments. As our understanding of the biology of depression evolves, novel treatment targets are emerging. Neurobehavioral therapies (NBTs) that affect changes in potential mechanisms underlying depression are being explored. In this webinar, Dr. Robin Nelson, MD and Dr. Sandeep Vaishnavi, MD, PhD, will review the potential importance of neurocircuitry and neuroplasticity in MDD. They will also discuss the potential utility of using digital mental health treatments (DMHTs) to target neurobiological emotional control systems.
