Depression

Depressions remain a taboo topic in our society, even though they are now among the most common mental illnesses in Austria.

Often, there is a lack of necessary background knowledge and understanding of this serious illness, as well as ideas and options for everyday life and how to interact with those affected.

In this lecture, you will learn fundamental knowledge about the condition of depression, what relatives should pay attention to when supporting people with depression (using a self-help checklist), and how nutrition and exercise relate to depression. You will become sensitized to the condition and its accompanying symptoms, receive practical application and implementation options, and learn how to take care of yourself and your health. Only those who are aware of their own resources, abilities, and limitations can provide supportive and professional assistance.

After the lecture, questions from participants will be gladly addressed.
