Keynote and Workshop in Iran

I just got back from the second international anxiety congress in Teheran (Iran). It was the Shefa Neuroscience Research Center at Khatam Hospital that organized the conference. I was invited to hold a keynote about “Internet and Smartphone Based Treatments Including a New PTSD-Study” and also have a workshop entitled “PTSD and Disasters”. It was a very interesting country that I knew almost nothing about. Now I know much more!
