In recent years Bipolar Disorder has become the focus of intense research activity across all domains from basic neuroscience to clinical management.

The Conference will include presentations on the following topics:

  • Bipolar Depression
  • Consumer and Carer Issues

  • Early Onset and Recognition
  • Mania
  • Neurobiology
  • Neuroimaging
  • Neuroprotection
