The 11th
International Mental Health Conference will be held at the
Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise Wednesday 18th August -
Friday 20th August 2010.
Depression & Anxiety: Who,
What, Where, When and How?
The ANZMH Association last visited Anxiety and
Depression as a major conference theme in 2000. In the
past ten years diagnoses and treatments of both
conditions have evolved considerably supported by
improved funding and support from State and Federal
Governments.
Who are the leaders
in the fields of depression and anxiety research and
service provision?
What new treatments
have been developed that are recognised as evidence
based treatments?
Where do we go from
here? What further developments are under consideration?
What advances can we expect in the next ten years? What
changes do we need to implement in the workplace to
promote and provide better management of anxiety and
depression?
When and under what
conditions are treatments and programs likely to be
successful?
How are Governments
developing policy to help with the ever increasing
number of clients reporting with these conditions? How
are new approaches being trialled?
The conference will be structured to provide updates on the treatment of depression and anxiety over
different phases of the life cycle (from childhood to
older adults).
