30-Hours Professional Diploma in Seasonal Affective Disorder
Credit hours
3
Seasonal affective disorder is explored here from its biological, environmental and circadian causes to the psychological and behavioural signs that accompany it. Learners gain an overview of screening tools and assessment, light therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches and lifestyle and nutrition factors, along with cultural considerations. It builds awareness for carers, wellbeing staff and interested individuals rather than preparing anyone to diagnose or treat.
