Be more confident diagnosing mood disorders, reduce the risk of suicide and self-harm & help your clients live more joyfully
If you want to use leading-edge research to master successful clinical diagnoses so your clients get the treatment they need to thrive … then this is going to be the most important message you read all day. Here’s why …
Between pure depression and Bipolar I lies a complex landscape of “mid-spectrum diagnoses,” including Bipolar II. The DSM has yet to fully recognize this spectrum of mood disorders. It still classifies depression and bipolar disorders as separate illnesses …
… Which contributes to the misdiagnosis of as many as 69% of bipolar disorder cases. More than one-third of these people remain misdiagnosed for 10 years or more. Mood disorder misinformation can have serious consequences for clients, including increased risk of suicide and self-harm.
According to the Archives of General Psychiatry, “Inappropriate treatment of bipolar disorder [BPD] is a serious problem in the U.S. population. Sub-threshold BPD is commonly occurring, clinically significant, and under-detected in treatment settings.”
To help you clear these hurdles to accurate diagnosis, we’ve created this exclusive, depression and mood disorder online training course. It will help you treat these conditions properly, and reduce the risk of client suicide.
