About This Event
Faces Of Depression In Primary Care: Depression Symptomology & Functional Outcomes From Early To Late Adulthood
Depression is a common disorder and leading cause of disability worldwide, which impacts an estimated 280 million individuals or ~5% of the adult population.1 Primary care clinicians are often the first access point for individuals experiencing behavioral health symptoms, particularly depression.2 Although they have the training and expertise required to address mental illnesses, differences in presentation across the lifespan and presence of medical comorbidities can complicate recognition and effective treatment of major depressive disorder. In this Faces of Depression webinar, Dr. Beth DiNapoli moderates an enlightening discussion on various presentations of depression across the adult lifespan with primary care physician and clinical researcher Dr. C. Brendan Montano. They will share perspectives on the role of primary care in identifying, assessing, and managing major depressive disorder across the lifespan. An emphasis on some of the unique complexities within the primary care landscape and an examination of the burden of disease with respect to functional outcomes will be provided. Finally, the various treatments for depression and the role they may play in overall depression improvement and functionality will be highlighted. Join us for this opportunity to learn and grow as we all strive to improve our mental health …. together!
