I found this course to be highly informative and well-structured. The material was presented clearly, with a good balance of theory and practical examples. It deepened my understanding of psychiatric conditions and treatment approaches, and the self-paced format made it easy to follow alongside my clinical work. The certificate at the end is a valuable addition to my professional development. I would definitely recommend this course to colleagues.

I recently completed a course on Class Central, and it was a great learning experience. The course content was well-organized, covering all the essential topics in detail. The instructor was knowledgeable and presented the material in a clear and engaging manner. I appreciated the interactive elements, such as quizzes and assignments, which helped reinforce my understanding of the subject. The platform itself was easy to navigate, and I could learn at my own pace, which made it convenient. Overall, this course was informative, practical, and well worth my time. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.

This is a very short course but then again with us knowing so little about Dementia (which was my interest my brother is a sufferer) it’s not the fault of the school or the instructor. It is an informative piece and I recommend it even if you don’t have a family member with Dementia. It’s just so scary that 5 million Americans today, have Dementia and there is so little science and research behind it. And medication - there’s nothing! Let’s pray that changes very soon and new treatments are offered.
