Program Abstract:
Mental health conditions are increasing in the college aged population, and the need for medications for these concerns is increasing as well. Many students arrive at college already taking psychotropic medications, and they will need ongoing care during their matriculation. This workshop will review the common mental health conditions encountered in the college student population and discuss the use of medical and some nonmedical interventions.
