Professional Ed Talks: Mental Health
Professional Ed Talks: Mental Health highlights the link between research, clinical medicine, and community health improvement by providing health professionals with the latest information in evolving, yet essential, areas that may be outside their core practice.
These videos are designed to equip health professionals with information related to the neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) frequently experienced by persons with Parkinson's, critical components of effective mental health assessment, current treatment approaches, and clinical considerations in providing psychotherapy to individuals with PD. Key components of these videos include summaries of assessment with respect to depression, anxiety, psychosis, and sleep disturbances in PD, examples of 1:1 interventions, and insight into the experience of psychiatric assessment and treatment from an individual living with PD.
