What is this teleseminar about?
Anxiety disorders are more than just a niggle or temporary stress. They alter the body's biochemistry, accelerate the development of chronic diseases, and shorten life. In this interdisciplinary teleseminar, leading specialists Evgeny Sergeyevich Kurasov and Veronika Nikolaevna Shishkova explore why anxiety and depression are becoming key risk factors in modern medicine.
Key topics:
Anxiety as a modifiable risk factor
- Why did the European Society of Cardiology include anxiety and depression in clinical guidelines?
- How psychoemotional disorders worsen the prognosis for hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Explosion of Anxiety Disorders
- Why do even mild forms of Covid cause long-term cognitive and emotional impairment?
- Post-Covid syndrome: how to distinguish neurological symptoms from psychiatric ones?
Somatic masks of anxiety
- Panic attacks vs. heart attack: how not to miss the threat?
- Dizziness, tachycardia, insomnia - when it is not the disease but the psyche that is to blame?
Diagnosis and treatment: what can a therapist do?
- Simple scales for identifying anxiety (GAD-7) - how to use them in routine practice.
- Why are benzodiazepines not the answer, and antidepressants not always?
- Drugs with a high safety profile (including Mexidol) - when, to whom and how.
Joint work of a psychiatrist and an internist
- How not to go too far: the balance between somatic and psychiatric treatment.
- Real cases from practice: patients with hypertension and panic attacks.
Who is this teleseminar for?
- Doctors (therapists, cardiologists, neurologists) - to more effectively help patients with “unexplained” symptoms.
- Psychologists and psychotherapists - to understand the somatic consequences of anxiety.
What will you learn?
- How to recognize an anxiety disorder in a patient complaining of “heart pain” or “constant fatigue.”
- What non-drug methods (rational psychotherapy, patient schools) work in primary care?
- Why anxiety treatment is not just about pills, but also about lifestyle changes.
This is a lively dialogue between two experts with examples from clinical practice, analysis of diagnostic scales and modern therapy protocols.
Watch to understand how the mind and body influence each other - and how to help yourself or your patients!
