Description

The aim of computational psychiatry is to describe the relationship between the brain’s neurobiology, its environment, and mental symptoms in computational terms. By identifying these relationships, the psychiatric classification and the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness may be improved. Machine learning and graph theory techniques are among the promising methods for characterizing large-scale brain networks, based on functional and structural measures. This presentation will help learners to understand how to apply an integrated physical and mental health care approach to postdeployment care.

Overview

The Mental Health Services Conference (MHSC) is being held virtually this October 14 to 15, 2021 on the theme “Sociopolitical Determinants: Practice, Policy and Implementation.” The purpose of the Mental Health Services Conference is to highlight educational programs and innovations in clinical services designed to ensure equal access to high-quality mental health care for all populations regardless of race/ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or geographical background.

Social determinants and health equity must be addressed at multiple levels including practice settings, educational activities, and organizations and institutions. This two-day conference features plenary key notes and breakout sessions from industry thought leaders. Each day focuses on broad themes that educate psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians and advocate on the sociopolitical determinants of mental health. In addition, attendees are provided with model programs, approaches, and schemas to aid with addressing sociopolitical issues while at the same time strategizing additional ways to increase access to high-quality mental health care to all patients—especially individuals who are members of marginalized groups. Attendees can expect to learn from national experts on topics like:

Impact of social determinants of health in the care of those with serious mental illness
How a system of care can influence the use of the social determinants of mental health to improve diagnosis and treatment planning
The policy landscape and opportunities encouraging evidence-based medicine and the role it plays in addressing care equity
