(PRLEAP.COM) Cypress, CA – Medcom, a leading provider of healthcare education materials, is pleased to announce the release of a new series of over 50 real-life-based training DVDs designed to enhance, augment, and easily integrate into current mental health nursing training programs. These DVDs, each of them 20-40 minutes long, focus on some of the most common mental health cases that nurses encounter in clinical settings. This is the first series of a planned library of DVDs, covering a wide variety of mental health issues, which Medcom plans to release this year.

The groundbreaking video series utilizes a case study format that provides visually compelling examples of multiple disorders, including:

• Adjustment Disorder
• Addiction and Substance Abuse
• Alzheimer's Disease/Dementia
• Anxiety and Panic Disorder
• Bipolar Disorder
• Depression
• Learning Disorder
• Schizophrenia

These videos also demonstrate critical skills such as limit setting, patient negotiations, phrasing of questions, and defusing anger. Many of the case studies include recommendations on next steps in providing patient treatment.

In announcing the introduction of these nursing videos, Michael Zoradi, President and CEO of Medcom, stated, "The release of this dynamic video series comes at a time when serious mental health policy discussions are taking place across the country. There is no better way to provide the clinical training that mental health nurses need than a case study video learning program. Studies show that video learning is intellectually stimulating, beneficial for gaining clinical skills, and effective in promoting cognitive learning and retention of knowledge."

Each DVD in the series is individually priced, enabling mental health providers to choose the most relevant programs for their needs. The case study videos will also soon be available for online streaming as well. A free 14-day video preview is available; call Medcom at (800) 541-0253 for additional information about this offer.
