Alex Korb – How Understanding the Neuroscience of Depression Can Improve Outcomes
Description
Recent research shows that when patients suffering from depression are taught about the neurobiological underpinnings of the disorder they benefit from reduced stigma and improve optimism. Conversely, holding certain incorrect beliefs about the neuroscience of depression can get in the way of improvement. Unfortunately, therapists and mental health professionals have not historically been expected to learn about the neuroscience of depression. In this recording, you’ll learn about the importance of communicating the neuroscience of depression to your clients, and more importantly how to do it.
