National Knowledge Week on Bipolar Disorder: 10-14 December 2007

The 2007 Bipolar Disorder Annual Evidence Update is a collection of the latest research on developments in bipolar disorder that has arisen over the past year. The Annual Evidence Update follows on from our Bipolar Disorder Knowledge Week 2006, which in its turn was an update of the evidence appraised in the July 2006 NICE guideline.

Topics will include updated evidence on: pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for acute depression, acute mania and maintenance treatment; self-harm and suicide; substance misuse; and children and adolescents. We are also introducing four new areas covered by evidence published in 2007: later life; genetics; mood disorders and migration; and psychosocial issues.

All mental health professionals will find something of relevance and interest during the Week. The Mental Health Specialist Library encourages users to feedback via the ‘contact us’ form on the website.
