Depression is examined from biological, psychological and lifestyle perspectives, including how it shows up across the lifespan and its clinical, postnatal, seasonal and atypical forms. Learners get an overview of assessment tools, therapeutic and medication-based treatments, and the role of diet, exercise and sleep. It builds mental health awareness and is not a qualification to diagnose or treat.
