Improving Quality Of Life, Functioning & Well-being In Individuals Living With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong, chronic mental health disorder characterized by extreme shifts in mood that can have a profound negative effect on daily functioning, cognition, and quality of life for individuals living with the disorder.1 During this webinar, guest speaker Dr. Martha Sajatovic, and Medical Science Liaison, Taylor Ochalek, will address why quality of life may be compromised in individuals with bipolar disorder and review the utility of measurement-based tools. Dr. Sajatovic will then discuss potential advantages of implementing both pharmacological and psychosocial interventions to improve quality of life, functioning and well-being.
