Leading Expert In Mood and Anxiety Disorders Discusses Latest Research for Healthcare Professionals New implications for treatment given free on psychLINK™
When faced with severe stress, humans are built to survive. While some people cope with extreme stress without psychiatric help, others develop severe mental conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Major Depression.
Carrollton, TX (PRWEB) March 26, 2004 -
Healthcare professionals will hear from a world renowned expert on this topic, April 14th, 2004, during a one-on-one interview with Dr. Dennis Charney, on the free continuing medical education program, psychLINK™. Dr. Charney is Chief of the Mood and Anxiety Disorder Research Program and the Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). He is also a former member of the Senior Advisory Board of the American Psychiatric Association and a former professor at Howard University.
Dr. Charney believes that with a better understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the response to stress, healthcare professionals are able to prevent and treat stress-related psychopathology.
PsychLINK™ Moderator and Executive Producer, Dr. William Glazer, Associate Professor, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, says it’s important for healthcare professionals to watch this program. “Dr. Charney's work (and the research that NIMH drives) is discovering many new neurobiological mechanisms that will help explain current medication action, and it will identify new avenues for new agents.”
With an audience of nearly 7,000 healthcare professionals who treat patients with mental health disorders, psychLINK™ airs via private satellite and steerable satellites with KU or C-band to sites across the country. Programming can also be viewed on the web at www. psychlink. com or listened to via an audio conference bridge.
PRIMEDIA Healthcare is proud to present, “The Neurobiology of Stress: A Roadmap for Psychiatry”, on April 14th. The program will feature Dr. Charney, one of the nation's foremost investigators in the neurobiology and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. Tune in for an exclusive discussion on the integrative model of resilience and vulnerability that encompasses the neurochemical response patterns to acute stress.
"I'm really looking forward to Dr. Charney’s presentation. His research in psychopathology is interesting and has wide implications for future innovative treatments of these disorders,” said longtime psychLINK™ viewer Dr. Anthony Giampolo, of Somerset, Pennsylvania.
