The "Advances in the Treatment of Mood Disorders: 2010" conference is scheduled to take place March 12 at the Sheraton Station Square.
This meeting will offer a succinct way for clinicians to assimilate recent advances in mood disorder treatment. The speakers will present new developments in the treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. This conference will also include a series of workshops, which will offer an intimate didactic learning opportunity for increasing understanding of psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic techniques. Some of the topics to be addressed include treatments for insomnia, the use of light therapy for depression and decision processes in suicidal behavior.
