Description

Depression is one of the main causes of psychological suffering, disability and loss of quality of life worldwide. It affects not only the individual who suffers from it, but also his or her family, social and work environment. Many people go through this disorder without adequate support, while others seek effective tools to intervene, understand or accompany the recovery process. This course has been designed with a comprehensive, practical and human approach, aimed at both professionals and students or people interested in deepening the treatment of depression from multiple perspectives.Throughout the course, we will address the clinical foundations of depression: its causes, symptoms, risk factors and diagnostic classification. We will analyze how it manifests itself in different stages of life (childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age), and how to adapt interventions according to each case and context. We will also explore the relationship between depression and anxiety, the impact of the social and family environment, and the importance of early recognition and prevention.We will focus especially on treatment. We will delve into the most widely used psychotherapeutic models with the most empirical evidence, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and the solution-focused approach. We will also address the role of pharmacological treatments, their indications, limits and possible combinations with psychological therapy.The course includes techniques for working with negative automatic thoughts, limiting beliefs, blocked emotions, and the loss of vital meaning that often accompanies depressive episodes. It also provides strategies for emotional regulation, reconnection with motivation, recovery of desire and strengthening of the therapeutic bond, key elements in any recovery process.In addition, we will dedicate specific modules to particular contexts such as postpartum depression, depression in older adults, the impact of traumatic events or life crises, and the effects of the pandemic on mental health. Aspects such as suicidal risk, the importance of the support network, social reintegration and long-term support are also addressed.This course is ideal for psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, coaches, teachers, social workers, caregivers and students of health and education related careers. It can also be very useful for people who are going through a depressive process or wish to better understand what their loved ones are going through.At the end of this course, you will have a clear, deep and updated vision of the treatment of depression. You will have clinical tools, practical resources and therapeutic criteria to accompany, intervene or even apply in your own life strategies for transformation, recovery and personal strengthening.What you will get in this course:Updated understanding of depression and its multiple forms of manifestation.Psychotherapeutic techniques to work with depressive symptoms.Intervention models applied in different contexts and life stages.Resources for coping with hopelessness, emotional emptiness and loss of meaningPractical tools for behavioral activation, emotional regulation and working with negative thoughtsStrategies for accompanying recovery processes and preventing relapsesDownloadable material, practical exercises and clinical examples explained step by step.This course is not a substitute for therapy, nor is it a treatment in itself, but it can be a valuable guide for those who wish to understand the depressive process in depth and actively participate in the path to emotional improvement.
