The Dysthymia module covers three related topics: brief CBT for dysthymia (assumes ten-minute appointments), brief CBT for suicidality (focusing on what to say in the moment), and victimhood culture (an exacerbant on the rise).

Over half of teens now report moderate anxiety or depression—double the rate from a decade ago. Alarmingly, 18% have considered suicide and 19% have self-harmed (OSDUHS, 2023). Adolescence has always been challenging, but today’s landscape introduces strange new pressures. This new module equips you—the time-travelling physician—to tackle issues like device addiction, social media contagion, empathy erosion, distorted intimacy, sleep loss, commitment phobia, safetyism, misogynistic ideologies, eco-anxiety, and desensitization from violent gaming. We conclude with key strategies from GPA Science: Research-Backed Methods to Improve Grades.

Losses happen. Historically, it was the wisdom traditions—religion and philosophy—that provided us with comfort. Today psychology helps too: the utterly universal experience of loss has spawned much excellent scientific research.

Topics include differentiating between MDD and grief, the CBT model (and techniques), the sunk-cost effect, forgiveness, DSM-5-TR's new Prolonged Grief Disorder, and thanatophobia.

The workshop assumes your appointments are brief, averaging only 5–7 minutes. With that in mind, we teach the CBT tools that are highest in impact and practicality. The goal is to efficiently help patients cope—at least a little better—with the pain of some of life’s inevitable losses.

You know the scenario: extensive workups, normal results, but patients remain symptomatic and distressed. Functional disorders are among medicine's most prevalent and perplexing conditions—affecting up to 30% of primary care patients. Despite confusing terminology (hysteria, psychosomatic, somatization, MUS, somatic symptom disorder), the core truth remains: suffering is real, patterns are recognizable, and effective treatment exists. This CBT-focused workshop cuts through the muddled terminology to tackle nine conditions that are either clearly functional, or for which there's a strong mind-body connection: dementia worry, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, panic, illness anxiety, migraine headaches, perimenopause symptoms, tinnitus, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. You'll learn evidence-based interventions backed by hundreds of RCTs, NICE guidelines, and Cochrane reviews.
