Patient Treatment Preferences in Bipolar-I Disorder: Are We Really Listening?
Pharmacological treatment with oral or long acting injectable medications are recommended to reduce relapse risk and promote quality of life in patients with Bipolar-I Disorder. Healthcare providers and patients with Bipolar-I Disorder share many treatment goals, valuing treatment efficacy and stability and allowing patients to engage effectively within society and live life with a sense of normalcy. Addressing patient preferences in treatment planning and ensuring those align with treatment goals is essential in providing quality mental health care. This on-demand webinar features Roger McIntyre, MD, FRCPC, and Kevin Williams, MS, MPAS, PA-C, who share their clinically-informed approaches to empower healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations with patients and translate patient preferences and goals into optimized treatment plans.
