在当今世界的几乎每一种文化中，精神疾病一般都没能被很好地理解，并导致精神疾病患者的社会孤立和歧视。 两种最常见的精神疾病是抑郁和焦虑 。 据估计， 每三个美国人中就有一个人一生中至少有过一次严重的抑郁 症，而中国人甚至更高。

来参加北京美国中心的讲座，以帮助我们更好地了解什么是“精神病”，特别是什么是抑郁和焦虑。通过美国精神病学协会的精神障碍诊断和统计手册，我们将研究这些疾病的原因，症状和可用的治疗方案。抑郁和焦虑症通常一起发生，如果不及时诊断和治疗，甚至可能导致死亡。但是了解和理解这些疾病是有希望的，甚至可以挽救生命。 

本讲座的嘉宾是美国律师和法医专家 Jacqueline Davis ， J.D. ， M.A. 硕士。

10 岁以下儿童谢绝参加。

This program will be conducted in English.

In almost every culture in the world today, mental illness is generally not well understood and results in social isolation and stigmatization of the individual suffering with the disorder. Two of the most common forms of mental illness are depression and anxiety and it is estimated that one in three Americans suffers from severe depression at least once in their life, and the estimates for Chinese citizens are even higher.

Come join us at the Beijing American Center for a talk that will help us better understand what “mental illness” actually is and in particular, what depression and anxiety are.  Working from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, we will look at the causes of these illnesses, the symptoms, and available treatment options.  Depression and anxiety disorders often occur together and, if left undiagnosed and untreated, can even result in death.  But to know and understand these illnesses is to have hope, and maybe even save a life.

This talk will be given by Jacqueline Davis, J.D., M.A., an American trial lawyer and forensic therapist.

This program is not suitable for children under 10.
