Lecture at the University of Montpellier on the topic of depression: "From melancholy to mental disability: what is the reality?"
As part of European Disability Employment Week, Professor Raoul Belzeaux Professor University of Montpellier will give a lecture on depression on November 17, 2022, at the Triolet campus from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
By invitation only
Depression is a common, severe, and difficult-to-treat condition. However, its high prevalence, exacerbated by the recent context of successive health crises, raises the question of the difference between normal, adaptive reactions and psychiatric disorders. Is it true that French people consume too many antidepressants? Is there a continuum between feeling blue and depressive illness? Is it a question of intensity or difference in nature? What is the true face of depression as an illness? How can it be a source of disability in the professional lives of patients?
Professor Raoul Belzeaux is a psychiatrist at the Adult Psychiatry Department of Montpellier University Hospital and Professor Montpellier University (PUPH). His research focuses on mood disorders, the possibilities of diagnosing some of these disorders using biomarkers, epigenetics, and developmental trajectories.
Registration to attend the conference is mandatory.
Registration closes on Monday, November 14, 2022.
