About the Webinar
In the field of psychiatry, understanding comorbidity is crucial for effective treatment. Often, guidelines are tailored to specific conditions, and research studies tend to exclude comorbid conditions when evaluating potential treatment options. These factors, coupled with time constraints and limited access to mental health resources, can contribute to suboptimal outcomes.
In this webinar, Dr. Nelson M. Handal will discuss the significance of identifying and addressing comorbid conditions in psychiatric practice. He will explore how comprehensive assessment tools can help clinicians navigate these challenges and provide more holistic, patient-centered care. Join us to learn how a more inclusive approach to psychiatric assessment can lead to better treatment outcomes and improved patient well-being.
