Major depression and bipolar disorder cause enormous personal, social and economic suffering throughout the world. Depression is quite common, occurring in up to 10% of men and 20% of women. It is the leading cause of disease burden in the U.S., with lost productivity, hospitalization, suicide and long-term treatment among its costs.
Bipolar disorder wreaks havoc among the families of those affected, with as many as 50% of patients making suicide attempts. Occupational status deteriorates in most instances and treatment is frequently complicated by lack of insight.
The diagnosis of depression and bipolar disorder in young people is quite difficult, and complicated by competing social and economic agendas. Is bipolar disorder in children and adolescents an under-diagnosed epidemic or is it a diagnosis run amuck, fueled by pharmaceutical advertising?
This workshop will present evidence-based data in a clinically informed context dealing with the issues listed above, as well as other relevant issues.
Participants will be able to:
Major Depression
Bipolar Disorder
Special Treatment Issues
