OVERVIEW

What are the Facts?

Depression is the most common mood disorder in Australia – and the world according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Despite all the attention and the widespread use of antidepressant medications, depression is on the rise in every demographic, especially young people.

Depression’s debilitating tentacles reach into every aspect of peoples’ lives, including relationships, productivity and physical health.

Depression’s dangers simply cannot be overstated.

What can we do about it as either practitioners, carers or sufferers?

What needs to be modified in light of new research and understandings?

What gives rise to depression and what can we do not just to treat, but prevent depression?

This one-day presentation will answer these questions.

Attendees will have a much clearer understanding of the complexities of depression and a better sense of what can be done to manage depression realistically and skillfully.

Who Should Attend?

Everyone. If depression has not yet affected you, it will. No family will escape this issue in the coming decades. No one is immune to depression.

If you are a professional, you need to be here!
If you are a sufferer, you need to be here!
If you care for, or support a sufferer, you need to be here!

There will be an emphasis on skill building, and those struggling with depression in themselves or loved ones will also acquire better understandings>

Learn WHAT TO DO, and what NOT TO DO.

Biological factors affirming the power of social factors
Genetics, epigenetics and socialization as key variables to consider
Identifying and addressing risk factors –especially yours – is crucial
Advances in the interpersonal model: Depression is contagious
How one factor – expectancy – influences every phase of treatment

How our depressed feelings can misguide us when making decisions
The single factor which most influences how you gauge whether your relationship with someone is good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, worthwhile or a waste of time – and how your awareness of it can ease major suffering
How depression affects marriages and families adversely
How to function preventively and reduce a child’s “depression inheritance.”
The dynamics of employing good task assignments to catalyze progress
The role of focusing strategies such as meditation and hypnosis in fostering emotional self-regulation
