Program Overview
People living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder face several challenges in managing their conditions, including side effects that impact QoL, diversity-related barriers to care, and feelings of isolation. When devising or altering treatment plans, clinicians must be mindful of these challenges, as well as other patient- and treatment-related factors that can affect treatment success.
Join a panel of expert psychiatrists to discuss the unique challenges facing patients with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder, including real-world patient experiences shared in pre-recorded interviews. Panelists will review limitations of existing therapies, and new and emerging treatment options. Clinicians will be prepared to devise patient-focused treatment plans that integrate patient needs and goals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss persistent real-world challenges faced by patients living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder
- Consider patient- and treatment-related factors when formulating treatment plans for patients living with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder
