This interactive virtual discussion advances your understanding of depression across the lifespan through clinical and research perspectives.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to identify several examples of evidence-based biological and psychosocial treatments for depression.
  • Participants will be familiar with the role that individual and community factors play in the development and maintenance of depression.
  • Participants will be able to identify unique factors that play a role in the development and treatment of depression in youth and older adults.

Individual Presentations:

The Pros and Cons in Pushing the Antidepressant Drug Development Envelope
featuring Alan F. Schatzberg, MD

In the past few years, the field has turned to agents with unique mechanisms of action that can be developed for patients particularly with refractory major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Several of these are mind altering or potentially abuseable and the risk-benefit of these approaches needs to be discussed.  Dr. Schatzberg presents on the rationale for developing several of these agents and the potential problems for abuse or mind alteration that they may pose.  

When Discrimination Hurts: Depression in Minoritized Youth
featuring Gabriela Livas Stein, PhD

Dr. Stein presents research focusing on the impact of discrimination on Latinx and other minoritized youth and families, and how different culturally promotive and coping resources may be enacted by youth when experiencing discrimination. She concludes by presenting on a new prevention program aimed at helping parents provide racial/ethnic socialization messages for youth of color called “One Talk at A Time.” 

Panel Discussion:

Innovations in Transdisciplinary Treatment for Depression Across the Lifespan 
featuring Namkee Choi, PhD, Shawn Jones, PhD, MHS, Gabrielle Liverant, PhD, and David Mischoulon, MD, PhD

This panel discussion takes a transdisciplinary perspective on depression, featuring experts in the etiology and treatment of depression across the lifespan and in various cultural frameworks. Panelists bring expertise in depression in youth, families, and older adults; transdiagnostic and racial-ethnic, cultural, and identity factors underlying risk for depression; and in community-based, psychosocial, biological, and complementary and alternative medicine approaches to the treatment of depression. Moderated Gabrielle Liverant, PhD, the panel discussion explores innovative approaches to understanding, preventing, and treating depression.

Moderated by: Barbara Kamholz, PhD, ABPP
