Following the recent program for clinicians on major depressive disorder (MDD) we’ll be presenting a complementary educational program for patients/caregivers with MDD on PlatformQ Health’s patient education channel NeuroCareLive.  Designed with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), the program will describe principles of shared decision making and the patient’s role in working with their HCP to select treatment options, while maintaining realistic expectations and promoting adherence. Your patients will learn about:

• Communicating with healthcare teams about depression, and how to play an active role in treatment
• The pros and cons of different treatment options
• What they can expect over the long-term, and the importance of adhering to treatment

Invite your patients to the live broadcast (or tune in yourself!), or prescribe the education once it’s available on demand.  Interested in the clinician education program on shared decision making in MDD treatment?  Read more here.
