Treatment Pathways Across Cultures
Understanding the cultural aspects of treating bipolar disease offers invaluable insights into how diverse ethnic backgrounds influence the perception, diagnosis and the management of this condition. Appreciating these differences can improve communication between healthcare providers and patients and lead to more improved, personalized and effective healthcare treatment plans. During this webinar, Sr. MSL Dr. Michael Aldape will be talking with Dr. Crystal Clark and Dr. Mauricio Tohen as they guide us on a lively discussion addressing the impact of culture across treatment pathways for bipolar disorder, and how cultural context can be integrated into treatment strategies for this condition.
