About the course

This one-day Maudsley Masterclass is aimed at clinicians working in mental health and will cover the basics of non-medical treatments for depression, as well as the latest research and evidence.

Non-pharmaceutical approaches to managing depression have a strong evidence-base and can be part of an effective and comprehensive treatment strategy.

Behavioural Activation is an intervention of choice for depression and is widely used in psychology services. Participants will learn to assess patients with depression to identify problematic lifestyle, cognitive, and interpersonal factors.

After attending this course, you will be able to integrate CBT for sleep, exercise, triple chronotherapy, and nutritional interventions into your management plans. There will be a focus on a functional understanding of rumination, avoidance, and compensatory behaviours that are used to avoid painful emotions that maintain depression.
