The first sign of a medical condition is often a change in behavior and when behavioral conditions lead to chronic stress a medical problem is often the result. In this presentation, attendees will learn some key signs to look for when differentiating medical conditions from behavioral conditions as well as some tips for recognizing a few of the common “imposters”; those medical conditions that frequently“pose” as behavioral conditions. Most importantly, attendees should leave this presentation with a better understanding of the complex interaction between physical and behavioral health.
