Join the GenTAC Alliance for an upcoming webinar, “Integrating Mental Health Screening into Aortopathy Care,” on November 13 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. This interactive session is designed for individuals affected by thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAD), as well as healthcare professionals involved in their care.

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, Siddharth Prakash, MD, PhD, and Sharon Zachariah, BS of UTHealth Houston, will 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 mental health outcomes for individuals with TAD. This is an opportunity to learn more about the connection between physical health and mental health and how healthcare providers can better support their patients on both fronts.
