Update your knowledge with the latest advances in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder with a high-quality postgraduate certificate fully compatible with your professional and working life"

Anxiety-related disorders are sometimes unwittingly considered "second tier" if we compare to others such as bipolar disorder or psychotic spectrum disorders that used to constitute what was called heavy psychiatry. Add to that other disorders that are being heavily researched, such as attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and borderline disorder; only obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder, would be close to a first line of intervention. 

The reality is that without entering into comparisons of severity, which would be out of the scientific context, a large number of these disorders are more frequent and therefore a greater number of people are affected.

It’s considered that lately there is a certain tendency, even in psychiatrists, to focus psychotherapeutic and sometimes pharmacological treatments on mitigating anxiety or its symptomatological equivalents. This approach is losing sight of the fact that the fundamental issue is to treat nosological entities. It is possible that it may be influenced by the rapid satisfaction of the patient when they perceive that their symptoms are improving.

Another important aspect is that in these disorders, the population tends to link the psychiatrist with drugs or other biological treatments, and psychotherapy with other mental health professions, so it is an important task of the psychiatric profession to show the user that the psychiatrist can, and should, perform psychotherapeutic treatments.

This program includes the latest updates on differential diagnosis, clinical and therapeutic management of anxiety-related disorders. It presents a theoretical and practical learning system based on theoretical models and clinical cases, to facilitate learning and clinical application.

It also presents the theoretical aspects from the presentation of clinical cases by professionals in the field of psychiatry, which facilitates learning in a simple and educational way.
