There’s a lot to know about bipolar and bipolar depression. How do I know? Because I’ve written about bipolar depression so many times it would make your head spin.
And what I try to do is either present the human side of bipolar depression or the evidence-based side. Here are a few of the articles I’ve written on bipolar depression:
- Atypical Depression More Common in People with Bipolar Disorder
- How to Handle Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Disorder
- Bipolar Disorder – When to Get Off Antidepressants
- Five New Bipolar Depression Treatments You Don’t Know About Part 1 (and Part 2)
- What is Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Disorder?
- Treatment and the Prevention of Bipolar Depression Part 1 (and Part 2)
- And on and on…
Well now I, and you, have the (FREE) chance to get a genuine look into bipolar depression from an evidence-based approach through the words of a leading psychiatrist.
Free Webcast on Managing Bipolar Depression
Here is the information on a FREE webcast by doctors (technically, for doctors) and Global Medical Education on an evidence-based approach to treating bipolar depression. I believe there will be a lot to learn here.
The owner of the sponsoring site (Global Medical Education) is a client of mine, which is how I know about the series and know that it really is absolutely free. I recommend you go register right now because while I’ll probably bring you the highlights, there’s nothing like hearing information from psychiatry-leading experts.
(And, in case you were wondering, no, I don’t make anything off of your registration or by putting this post up, I just thought that we all should have the opportunity to learn something.)
I’m puzzled as to why you would recommend a series funded by a pharmaceutical (can’t spell it) company. Physcians Medscape recently came out with a study stating that psychiatrists receive by far more kickbacks, in one form or other, from the big drug companies. I don’t mean all psychiatrists. It seems that other research supports this as well.
Hi,
Despite mixed responses I feel Bipolar depression is something of great importance for all of us. It requires a deep understanding and the programs like this can really help us to provide a deep insight about BD. I think I will register to the program and what could have been better, it is a free registration course. I also agree with the fact that instead of going for the highlights it would be a good idea to learn first hand from psychiatry experts about the management of patients with BD. I am sure gonna register there.
Hi Vladimir,
Registration for the webcast series on Managing bipolar depression is open to participants from anywhere in the world. You can pick any US State to register but we will try to see if we can add a Not applicable option for overseas participants.
Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for blogging about it, I just registered for few dates. I’m just confused a little bit when it comes to registration. When I registered it says “Select your US/Canada” state.
Do I qualify for this if I live outside US/Canada?
This is off topic, I have recently encountered https://www.patientslikeme.com/ and am considering registration, any experience with this group?
Hi Dean,
I’m actually quite critical of that site. I’ve written about it here: http://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/breakingbipolar/2011/04/patient-to-patient-communication-can-be-dangerous/
Of course, that being said, it’s totally up to you. It’s just my opinion.
