Program Overview:
Living with depression has a major impact on the productivity and overall quality of life for the sufferer. Currently 17 million people in the United States suffer with depression, and nearly 1 in 10 adults will have a major depressive disorder during their lives. Effective screening tools and communication with patients provides the opportunity to timely and accurately diagnose depression. Successful long term management of depression is the next challenge; stigma, choosing treatment options based on patient needs, and compliance issues all factor into effective treatment. This program will examine these issues with focus on improving strategies for successful depression treatment.
