The 3rd Annual Chair Summit, The Master Class for Neuroscience Professional Development, in Chicago, Illinois (August 2010), brought together chairpersons in psychiatry and neurology to act as expert peer teachers for frontline clinician learners. Faculty and learners collaboratively evaluated evidence; shared ideas and clinical practice challenges; developed individualized clinical strategies; explored the role of the multidisciplinary team; discussed health-system issues; and translated neuroscience discoveries into patient-centered practice improvements.
This second of five articles in the companion series, Meeting Highlights of the 3rd Annual Chair Summit, The Master Class for Neuroscience Professional Development, 2010 presents meeting highlights on management of depression subtypes (psychotic and anxious), treatment of late-life depression, complementary and alternative medicine for depressive episodes, and the impact of depression treatment on cardiovascular disease. This article also discusses pediatric bipolar disorder; using systematic therapy trials in order to arrive at the optimal plan for individual patients with bipolar disorder, and forward-looking ideas about innovations on the horizon for improving care of bipolar disorder.
