Description
The clinician’s challenge is to discern the co-morbidity since symptom presentations can be similar in both anxiety and depression. Further complicating matters is the fact that depression can lower energy to complete treatment recommendations and block effective starts in treatment.
Dr. Margaret Wehrenberg will use her clinical experience and foundation in neurobiological causes of anxiety and depression to identify different client presentations. These seven types of combined anxiety and depression presentations are:
- The Low Energy Client whose anxiety interferes with depression.
- The Hopeless Ruminator, whose depression makes it too difficult to energize.
- The Panicky and Depressed person who needs to take charge of anxiety.
- The Worried and Exhausted client who must address burnout.
- The Quiet Avoider whose social anxiety promotes isolation and depression.
- The High Energy Anxious and Depressed client whose energy masks depression.
- The High Anxiety client who can use anxious energy for depression recovery.
Through interactive activities and lecture, you’ll learn how to immediately use methods to enable your clients to thrive in recovery.
