Bipolar disorder can be a devastating illness, for both individuals and families. It is a chronic disease with unstable and unpredictable moods. However, the positive news is that bipolar disorder is treatable, and new research advances are underway.
To provide greater understanding of the causes and treatments for bipolar disorder, the University of Michigan Depression Center and the Plymouth District Library will present a Bright Nights community forum entitled, “Understanding Bipolar Disorder,” to be held Tuesday, January 13, 2009 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the Plymouth District Library at 223 S. Main St. in Plymouth, MI.
Dr. Melvin McInnis, M.D., FRCPsych, the Thomas B. and Nancy Upjohn Woodworth Professor of Bipolar Disorder and Depression at the U-M Depression Center, will present a brief overview of the illness from a clinical and genetic perspective. This will be followed by a specialist panel discussion based on questions from the audience.
Bright Nights is open to the public and there is no charge for attendance. Family members, friends, and individuals with bipolar disorder are especially welcome to attend this presentation.
