Program Description:

What clinical challenges are presented by comorbid alcohol misuse and major depressive episodes (MDE)? This module provides primary-care providers with practical information to identify patients with MDE and alcohol misuse and to manage these patients over the course of their illness. 

The module is divided into the following sections: 

How do I identify comorbid alcohol misuse and MDE?
How do I assess alcohol misuse and MDE?

How do I manage alcohol misuse and MDE?

Learning Objectives:

• Manage true comorbid alcohol misuse and MDE with the goal of achieving remission in both MDE and alcohol misuse and managing relapses over the lifetime course of the illnesses
