Topic 1: Depression
Presenter: Louise Trimble, Clinical Psychologist
 Depression is a very common problem. Twenty five percent of adults become severely depressed at some point in their lives. Depression involves both biological changes in the way the brain works and psychological changes – the way we think and feel. Because of this, it is often useful to combine medical treatments for treating depression (which act on the brain) with psychological approaches such as counselling (which teach new ways to deal with thoughts and feelings).
What is depression?
Depression is a common and disabling condition. While all of us feel low in mood from time to time, in depression this low mood is much more severe – it persists for at least two weeks, is associated with other symptoms and it causes significant distress or interferes with the ability to function at home or at work.
Louise Trimble will talk about the causes of depression, symptoms of depression, and the many treatment options available which include:-
- Psychological treatments,
- Medication,
- Lifestyle Factors such as exercise, meditation/relaxation and nutrition.

Topic 2: Social Anxiety Disorder
Presenter: John Jakupi, Psychologist
 “Social Anxiety Disorder is a highly prevalent disorder and is associated with losses in quality of life, considerable economic costs, high levels of service use and serious functional impairments in educational, social and occupational domains.
In order to decrease this burden on individuals and society at large, several psychological treatments have been developed in the past few decades and include exposure, cognitive interventions, social skills training, applied relaxation, and various combinations of these.
The lecture will include an introduction to the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments for this disorder, and will also address the more common variants of social phobia, which most people suffer at some point in their lives.”
John Jakupi brings considerable experience working within the Public Welfare sector to his work as a psychologist. He is a trained Cognitive-Behaviour Therapist with a diverse range of expertise and skills ranging from the cognitive treatment of anxiety and depression in youth and adolescents, crisis management, and staff training and development. John is also a lecturer in Psychology at Monash University.
