Topic
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling mood disorder often complicated by overlapping symptoms, frequent misdiagnosis, poor adherence, and comorbidities, leaving significant gaps in care. Advanced practice providers (APPs) play a critical role in closing these gaps by enhancing early recognition, timely referral, and personalized treatment strategies across acute and maintenance phases. Join us for this live 1-hour Virtual Summit and be the first to hear key findings and real-world practice changes from a national survey, with results integrated throughout the program. The summit will also feature real-world case-based discussions and introduce two downloadable pocket guides that highlight concise key points for quick reference on recognizing and diagnosing BD and applying patient-centric, long-term management strategies. Don't miss this opportunity to hear two BD experts discuss: Strategies to recognize and screen for BD, including differential diagnosis and timely referral, Available and emerging therapies, with focus on efficacy, tolerability, and individualized needs, Shared decision-making and patient-centered treatment planning, Monitoring for inadequate response, managing side effects, and supporting adherence.
