The Mental Health Professionals' Network hosts its first webinar, focusing on adolescent depression with a cyber-bullying component. Ajit Singh facilitates a panel of experts: Stephen Carbone, a GP; Michael Carr-Gregg, an adolescent psychologist; and Peter Parry, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The panelists discuss the epidemiology of adolescent mental health issues, the roles of different healthcare professionals in addressing these issues, and discipline-specific approaches to care. The discussion includes a case presentation of a 17-year-old named Tim, illustrating the diagnostic and treatment considerations from the perspectives of a GP, psychologist, and psychiatrist, including the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, risk assessment, and lifestyle factors. The panel also addresses questions from the audience, covering early signs of cyber-bullying, building resilience, and the role of family therapy.
