In an interview with Dr Gavin Nimon (https://www.glenelgorthopaedics.com.au) (Orthopaedic Surgeon), Adelaide Psychiatrist Dr James Hundertmark outlines depression delving into the intricacies of the DSM-5 system, the diagnostic tool used for mental health conditions in Australia. Our conversation with James demystifies major depressive disorder, melancholic depression, and adjustment disorders, coupled with an exploration of their effect on social interactions and overall quality of life. But we don't just stop at the diagnosis. We journey through the spectrum of treatment options, from cognitive and behavior therapies to more advanced treatments for severe depression. We also touch on the role of psychologists, GP mental health care plans, and the impacts of medications on patients.
Our discussions take a historical turn as we examine the evolution of ECT and we navigate through various medications associated with depression and their effects. Finally, we step into the ever-evolving landscape of mental health as we discuss the the changing ways people access mental health services, and potential new treatments. Concluding on a hopeful note, we also emphasize lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, as an integral part of improving mental health. Get ready for an insightful, in-depth exploration of the mental health sphere in Australia.
