In July members of the BDRN team attended the 18th Annual Conference of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, held jointly with the 8th Biennial Congress of the International Society of Affective Disorders in Amsterdam. The conference provided the opportunity for both clinicians and researchers from across the world to present and discuss the latest leading research findings and treatment approaches in the field of mood disorders. We are very proud that BDRN members made up 15% of the UK delegates and gave a total of six talks and eight poster presentations
