Children with undetected attention and learning problems often feel unsuccessful in school. Over time, the stress associated with doing poorly in school can create vulnerability to depression. Similarly, symptoms of depression can interfere with academic progress.
Cynthia Ewell-Foster, PhD, Clinical Assistant Professor in the U-M Department of Psychiatry and member of the U-M Depression Center, will present an overview of the latest research on the interaction of learning disorders and depressive illnesses, and information on effective treatment strategies. This will be followed by a specialist panel discussion. Parents and educators are encouraged to attend.
Bright Nights™ Community Forums are presented by the U-M Depression Center. This public forum series gives community members the opportunity to obtain up-to-date information on a variety of topics related to depression.
