Major Mental Disorders

Course description

In this course, students learn to identify the most prevalent disorders that are seen in healthcare settings. A bio-psycho-social approach is used to explore the assessment and treatment of the major mental disorders, including schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety, and personality disorders. Exploring health and illness using a continuum model, students examine practical approaches to understanding and working with people living with mental illness, with a particular interest in supporting those receiving care for other health-related challenges.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
