Patients who remain mired in depression, despite treatment with multiple medications, often have undiagnosed bipolar illness. This seminar will provide clinicians with a method to distinguish bipolar patients from those with depression, borderline personality, and ADHD. Clinicians will learn why, despite widespread use, antidepressants and antipsychotics should not form the foundation of treatment for bipolar illness. Dr. Quinn will discuss empirically-tested psychosocial therapies and potent non-pharmacologic treatments for those with bipolar disorder. Clinicians will learn how to recognize patients at the greatest risk of completing suicide and how to intervene to reduce that risk.
