Trauma and Mood Disorder vector

With Joel Hughes, Clinical Director, Edgewood Treatment Centre

Virtually no one gets through life without experiencing some kind of trauma. Whether it is a violent act, natural disaster, divorce, or death, we all struggle to regain our footing after an initial shock. Living with a mood disorder and experiencing a traumatic event can disrupt your routine and impact your therapy – it may even trigger an episode of mania or a deepening depression. Anyone, no matter their mental or physical health, can experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Those with mood disorders may even find their lives even more disrupted than usual. Join Joel Hughes, Clinical Director at Edgewood Treatment Centre, on Thursday, October 6 between 12-1pm EST as he discusses how mood disorders and trauma relate and can influence one another.  

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand how mood disorders and trauma relate
