We are excited to announce that the Oct. 4 conference at the UNR Student Union Ballroom is now officially live for registration.  It is entitled "Skills and Pills for Depression: What Works and What Hurts, and How to Talk About It."  The conference features world-renowned psychiatrist David Healy, M.D. as the centerpiece.  He is one of the greatest "outside the box thinkers" in Psychiatry history and yet he has published over 250 peer reviewed articles and 25 books, paradoxically putting him squarely in the mainstream of academic psychiatry. Many of his published works are about the risk/benefits of antidepressants and offer searing critiques of the outsized influence by the pharmaceutical industry on mental health treatment.  An important question is how psychological interventions compare with antidepressant medication, alone or in combination.  David Antonuccio, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the UNR School of Medicine, will present some of the most relevant data on this point and let the audience decide for themselves how to answer this question. 
We are inviting the community ($20), students (free if registered at least a day before the conference, otherwise $10), and all mental health professionals (4 CEUs/CMEs--including 2 for ethics and 1 for suicide training--available for only $100).  We think it will be a lively, stimulating, and fun affair and we hope to see many of you there!
