SUMMARIZED ABSTRACT
A mood disorder diagnosis can be overwhelming. In this livecast webinar, Dr. Mark Schwartz and Dr. Lee Larimer will share their experience with both biological and psychological therapeutic treatments to better control both mania/hypomania and depression cycles.
Research on large numbers of individuals suggests that behavioral management can decrease both the frequency and intensity of mood changes. Clarifying what is a “normal” state is sometimes confusing, and specific skills are necessary for managing impulsive, self-destructive, irritable behaviors, or other misattunements with others, such as a difficulty to stop talking.
