This webinar was created for providers, but all are welcome. In this free webinar, Dr. Kremer will overview military culture and its impact on veteran mental health. The lens of military culture can shapes not only the veterans approach to treatment, but also how the symptoms manifest in their life. It will look at several common diagnoses, such as major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorder, and discuss symptoms presentations that are common in veterans. It will also touch on treatment considerations for this population to allow us understand how to better treat those who have served our country.
