Approximately 16.2 million adults aged 18 years or older in the U.S. experienced at least one major depressive episode in the last year, which represented 6.7 percent of all American adults, and depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States among people ages 15-44. In recent years, advances in the treatment of depression have brought new hope to individuals affected by depression.

This conference will discuss the neurobiology of depression including the shift in emphasis from monoamines such as serotonin and norepinephrine to glutamate NMDA receptors show emerging evidence for the rapid improvement of treatment-resistant depression.

Attendees will obtain a better understanding of two important treatments for treatment-resistant depression – Ketamine and TMS. Ketamine is one of the biggest developments for rapid improvement in treatment-resistant depression, stimulating a series of receptors in the brain and kick-starting synaptic plasticity – the ability of parts of the brain to grow and change. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is also proving to be an effective noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.

Accurate and early diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder will be presented as well as the importance of a collaborative care model for management of depression in primary care.
