Start Date: 01/28/2025 End Date: 05/13/2025
Term: Spring Semester 2025
Description: How much do we currently know about the symptoms of major depressive disorder? This course will take a deep dive into the risk factors, onset, underlying mechanisms, known treatments, and predicted treatments of several symptoms of major depression via a review of the neuroscience literature. We will also examine the roles of age, sex, gender, culture, environment, and species. This course will involve student-led discussions and presentations, as well as written summaries on various symptoms of major depression. Possible avenues for new therapeutics of residual and treatment-resistant symptoms of major depression will also be discussed. This course will serve as a good foundation for students who are interested in learning more about the underpinnings of major depressive disorder.
