“Understanding and Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Strategies for Mental Well-Being”

Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear and avoidance of places or situations where escape may be difficult or help unavailable during a panic attack. Participants will gain an understanding of the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the impact of agoraphobia on daily life. Treatment strategies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure therapy, pharmacotherapy, and approaches for supporting individuals with agoraphobia, will be covered.

Hopeless Outlook

A pervasive sense of hopelessness, often associated with depression, can negatively affect mental health and exacerbate depressive symptoms. Cognitive restructuring and interventions aimed at fostering hope and resilience will be explored as therapeutic approaches to counteract hopelessness and improve emotional well-being.

Increased Fatigue and Sleep Problems

Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety often disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to increased fatigue. Strategies for managing sleep disturbances and fatigue, including cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), lifestyle changes, and pharmacological interventions, will be discussed.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves excessive and uncontrollable worry about various life aspects. Symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the effects of GAD on daily functioning will be explored, alongside treatment options like CBT, medications, and relaxation techniques for managing chronic anxiety.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

Persistent Depressive Disorder (formerly Dysthymia) is a chronic form of depression with long-term, mild depressive symptoms. Attendees will learn about diagnostic criteria, symptoms, and the impact of dysthymia, as well as treatment options, including psychotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate persistent depressive symptoms.

Panic Disorder is marked by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks. Symptoms, triggers, and the impact of panic attacks on daily life will be explored, along with effective treatment strategies such as CBT, exposure therapy, and medications to help individuals manage and reduce panic attacks.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
