With medical science fast progressing\, the prospect of earlier detection\, diagnosis and the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease raises a broad range of ethical and social questions. \nIn the absence of a disease modifying treatment or a cure\, what are the ethical challenges to the early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease? \nDementia imposes a major burden on patients\, carers and society. Timely diagnosis and early intervention can help to change the patient pathway\, potentially improving outcomes for patients and carers while reducing costs. \nAs part of the EBC Value of Treatment project\, the potential impact of a hypothetical Alzheimer’s medicine was assessed by experts in the field\, and ‘accurate and timely’ diagnosis and intervention were some of the key recommendations to come out of the study. \nThere is growing evidence in the research literature that a more proactive approach geared around the need for earlier diagnosis and intervention could go a very long way to reduce costs for both families and\, eventually\, the taxpayer by delaying entry to care homes and potentially opening up new possibilities for the progression of the disease to be slowed down in diagnosed individuals. \nThis debate must also be placed in a broader context in which European institutions and societies increasingly shift their focus on supporting their elderly population and on recognising the contribution and value of the “silver economy”. \nThis policy roundtable will include the presentation of the economic analysis undertaken by the Value of Treatment Alzheimer’s working group\, as well as explore the “what if?” questions. \n\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:‘New horizons for person-centred mental health research and care’  - EPA/GAMIAN-Europe EP Event
DESCRIPTION:On 3 December\, the European Parliament Interest Group on Mental health\, Well-being and Brain Disorders\, GAMIAN-Europe and the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) will hold an Interest Group meeting\, entitled ‘New horizons for person-centred mental health research and care’\,  in the European Parliament in Brussels\, at 15.00 – 18.00 in room 5G1. \nIn recent years\, issues related to mental health care and services have increasingly been part of EU and national research agendas. In parallel\, the notion and importance of person-centred mental health services has gained ground. There is general consensus on the crucial importance of this concept: all mental health stakeholders – e.g. patients\, health care professionals\, policymakers\, care and service providers agree that person-centredness is essential if appropriate. Effective and high-quality mental health care services are to be developed and delivered. And indeed\, a number of recent and current EU-funded research projects explicitly take into account this perspective. \nAs the EU is about to embark on a new\, comprehensive and large-scale research programme\, the Interest Group\, GAMIAN-Europe and the EPA believe that the time is ripe to organise a policy event with a specific focus on person-centred mental health research and care. \nThis event aims to: \n\nUnderline the importance of person-centred mental health research and care and increase\nthe visibility of this topic;\nExchange views on how a person-centred perspective can be ensured in EU funded and\nother research addressing mental health;\nInform about ongoing research focusing on mental health in a person-centred way;\nStimulate discussion amongst stakeholders and forge links for future cooperation;\nUnderline the importance for Horizon Europe to take person-centredness as a guiding\nprinciple for future EU-funded mental health research.\n\nThe full agenda is featured below: \nprogramme IGMH FIN\n  \n

SUMMARY:Policy Report Launch: 'A sustainable approach to depression: moving from words to actions’
DESCRIPTION:On 5 December 2018\, the European Parliament Interest Group on Mental health\, Well-being and Brain Disorders\, EBC\, GAMIAN-Europe\, the European Psychiatric Association (EPA)\, the European Brain Council (EBC)\, EUFAMI\, the Expert Platform on Depression\, Eurocarers\, the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology\, the UEMS – Sector of Psychiatry and the International Federation for Psychotherapy will launch a join policy paper on major depression\, entitled ‘A sustainable approach to depression: moving from words to actions’. The meeting will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels\, between 12.30 and 14.00 in room A5F 385. \nToday\, over 35 million people are estimated to be living with depression in Europe Its cost is 30% higher than that of stroke. Yet as a society\, we lack understanding of depression and empathy for those affected. Policies focused on depression exist\, but implementation is variable and suffers from significant under-resourcing. This in turn contributes to significant gaps in diagnosis and care: only 25% of people diagnosed with depression receive appropriate and timely care.3 \nThese gaps need to be remedied – and require a comprehensive\, sustainable policy response\, looking at how to prevent and manage depression across all aspects of society. \nThe organisations listed above joined forces to address this need; they agreed to produce a report aimed at providing policymakers with concrete ways to better address the full spectrum of depression and its impact on our societies.  The report drew from the practical experiences of a variety of innovative projects addressing different aspect of depression across the EU. Key factors and lessons learnt were identified which can help policymakers develop and put in place concrete\, relevant and sustainable policies and initiatives. \nThe December event aims to: \n\nPresent the key findings of this report;\nShowcase examples of successful projects addressing depression;\nExchange views on how depression can be prioritised on the EU and national policy agendas;\nForge links between relevant stakeholders and explore ideas for future cooperation to ensure better management of depression.\n\n\nIf you would like to attend this event\, please register here before 28 November.
