Brief Course Description - Mental health issues are often viewed as isolated events in an individual while often associated with the individual as being "weak" or not able to stand the pressure. Drug and alcohol problems are often thought of as separate issue from mental health maladies while in fact, nothing may be further from the truth. Often stressors can lead to mental health issues or use of drugs, alcohol or BOTH. Mental illnesses can also lead to drug/alcohol abuse and drug/alcohol abuse can also lead to mental illnesses. Stress, anxiety, depression, and professional burnout, in conjunction with workforce shortages, can all contribute to and magnify the difficulties in today's treatment environment to varying degrees causing fear and uneasiness. This course will address what we as dental professional must do and modify to educate and protect ourselves, our patients, and our profession from the effects of mental health illnesses. Instructor - Dr. Bill Claytor CE Credits - Upon completion of the course and short post course quiz, you will be awarded 1 CE hour of credit. AGD Subject Code - 157
