Description
Mood Disorders are common presenting issues with clients in counseling. In this workshop, you will not only learn about diagnosing depression and bipolar disorder, but also some tips on differential diagnosis. Various treatment methodologies will be discussed, with some attention to dual diagnosis. We will also address suicidality and medications for these disorders as well.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Diagnose mood disorders.
  • Identify three different treatment techniques for working with clients with mood disorders.
  • Recognize the signs to watch out for with regard to suicidality, and how to handle threats of suicide.
  • View the “face” of the disorder by seeing video footage of persons diagnosed with Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder and will learn differential diagnosis through these examples.
