Program description: Depression is a major cause of suffering and disability specifically among Veterans. While available treatments for depression can be life-saving for many people, all too often individuals continue to suffer from symptoms of depression despite treatment. Sometimes referred as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), this form of depression can be chronic and require several types of treatments before patients experience an improvement in their symptoms. This webinar will describe what TRD is, how to diagnosis it, and the current evidence-based treatment options.

Dr. Murrough commented for an article in The Daily Beast on the continuing #mentalhealth crisis #COVID19 has created, comparing anxieties in the wake of #coronavirus rates falling in NYC to the experience of a solider returning home after experiencing combat. "You can tell the patient the war is over, but that doesn’t make the symptoms go away," he said. "They still carry the primed activation response state. To one degree or another, we’re experiencing that." https://bit.ly/38bi175

"A first step for those medical schools and health systems that have not yet done so, is to form employee resource groups and leadership committees devoted to g...iving every staff member a voice and putting them on equal footing. I’ve found much support in helping combat systemic bias by identifying gaps in care for communities of color and seeking innovative solutions to fix them," says Dr. Gary C.
