This one-day workshop in-person workshop brings together leading researchers and individuals with lived experience for an exploration of ‘Measuring depression: from methodology to clinical application’. Delve into the latest findings, gain insights from esteemed speakers, and contribute to the dialogue shaping the future of mental health care for depression.
We encourage attendance from researchers in mental health, early career researchers, and clinicians working across both primary and secondary care.
Join us for engaging conversations across four key areas:
- Examining the depression phenotype: Discussing recent evidence which questions whether depression represents a single phenotype.
- Revisiting depression screening tools: Exploring suitability of existing tools in relation to symptom heterogeneity, scale quality, reliability, validity and specificity.
- Understanding depression in diverse contexts: Assessing the cross-cultural applicability of current diagnostic guidelines.
- Measuring depression in practice: Understanding the challenges of assessing depression in clinical practice, and the role of digital healthcare.
We will also be joined by several Patient Public Involvement representatives who are able to share their lived experiences with us on the day.
