“Bipolar disorder is more common than people realize – up to three percent of the population is bipolar,” said Dr. Gregory. “It is extremely important to properly diagnose and treat bipolar disorder.”
Dr. Gregory’s discussion focused on the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder, and best practices with regard to medication and treatment of individuals dealing with bipolar or other mood disorders.
“Proper treatment of individuals with bipolar disorder is a continuous process that involves family support, psychotherapy and effective monitoring of medication,” said Dr. Gregory.
