Thoracic aortic disease (TAD) is associated with significant cardiovascular complications that often impact younger people and can lead to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. These issues can further affect health and quality of life, making it crucial to address mental well-being alongside physical care.

In this webinar, Sharon Zachariah, BS, and Siddharth Prakash, MD, PhD, both of UTHealth Houston, discuss their innovative approach to incorporating mental health screenings into TAD care. They will share the outcomes of this program and discuss how it can be standardized in clinics worldwide to improve the mental health of individuals with TAD.
