This Depression Awareness course is an online study tool to look at how depression can be recognised and diagnosed before defining the different types of depression and other similar disorders.
As part of the online course, you will look at the causes of depression and the everyday factors that can make it challenging to manage.
You will also find out more about the depression symptoms that are exhibited in adults, teenagers and children, and the ways in which to get help.
This e-learning Depression Awareness online course also includes information on understanding how to recognise psychotic depression and how it can be treated, as well as the physical and social effects of depression.
There will also be information about depression management techniques and treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, relaxation techniques and mood management.
There are also details on how diet, exercise and the work life balance can all play a role in dealing with depression.
This online depression awareness course is aimed at people who work in the health and social care sector.
The course can help to increase their awareness of depression in order to help them improve the care that they offer.
However, this course can also be accessible to those working outside of the health and social care sector as no prior knowledge of the condition is required.
This interactive video e-learning course uses embedded presenters who can offer face to face eye contact in order to help build trust with the learner. Their memorable tone and style can make it much easier to communicate the learning content, therefore making it easier to understand and absorb.
The Depression Awareness course can then offer a system generated certificate when a candidate has successfully completed it, and this will be recognised by the IIRSM and CPD.
