CPBI Pacific Breakfast Session : The Medicalization of Unhappiness

Information

This presentation by Peter Gove, Innovation Leader, Health Management at Green Shield Canada examines the history of mental illness in Canada, how it has been treated, and/or gone untreated, as well as the consequences of the practices that has prevailed. He will also review how much the landscape has changed over the last few decades. Mr. Gove will zero in on the changing medical and social landscape that has led to the proliferation of mental health diagnoses and the widespread prescribing of anti-depressants. He will touch on whether normal, expected bouts of sadness become “medicalized” and are we in turn medicating large portions of the population across the varying age bands. Are there other strategies for care that would better help these patients? Where do therapy and wellness professionals fit in? What are the options available and what are the statistics that support these options?
