Your contributions are critical. Areas where research dollars can make a difference include:
Definition of the core features and key manifestations of mood disorders throughout the life cycle. More refined definitions will expand the knowledge base exponentially.
Dissemination of the most up-to-date information about treatment approaches to psychiatrists, neurologists, and other professionals on the front lines of care
Development of more age-specific treatments for different stages of the life-cycle such as the design of mentoring programs that assist young adults in managing their illness during transition to adulthood
Our goals are both ambitious and realistic. The scientists seeking effective treatment options stand on the threshold of unprecedented opportunity. Meanwhile, those who suffer from bipolar disorder cope with a turbulent threat to their survival that remains ever-present.
Please help us offer them the hope of a harbor.
