 PREGÚNTELE AL PSIQUIATRA

Contacto: Ana Vega-Woller, Vicepresidenta de NAMI-San Fernando Valley (818) 905-5927, ana.10@sbcglobal.net

 QUÉ:  “Pregúntele al psiquiatra” es una presentación gratuita y en español sobre temas de salud mental.  Esta es una oportunidad única para que el público en general que tenga dudas o preguntas sobre la salud mental de algún familiar o sobre sí mismo haga las preguntas que quiera.   

QUIÉN:  El Dr. en psiquiatría Alex Kopelowicz es Profesor y Vicepresidente del Departmento de Psiquiatría en la Escuela de Medicina David Geffen School en UCLA, Director de Psiquiatría del Centro Médico Olive View-UCLA y el Director Médico del San Fernando Valley Mental Health. La presentación está patrocinada por NAMI (The National Alliance on Mental Illness o La Alianza Nacional de Salud Mental) del Valle de San Fernando.  

POR QUÉ: Los latinos viviendo en los EEUU son los que mayor riesgo corren de padecer depresión o trastornos de ansiedad. Las mujeres y las adolescentes son las que más sufren de depresión, llegando a los intentos de suicidio, y los hombres intentan “automedicar” su depresión o ansiedad con el alcohol o las drogas. Y el Dr. Kopelowicz ha recibido premios nacionales por su trabajo como un experto investigador de la salud mental de la población latina, entre ellos el Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award del NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health), y el Young Investigator Award de NARSAD (National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depresión).

CUÁNDO:  Martes 24 de marzo. De 7:00 a 9:00 pm

DÓNDE: Cornerstone - 14660 Oxnard St. Van Nuys , CA 91411

La presentación ofrecerá refrescos y buffet. 

Conozca cuáles son los últimos avances en salud mental.
