Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
This archived, self-directed learning activity is available for personal viewing and is based on the live event held in Toronto, Ontario on February, 24, 2016. The program involved a multidisciplinary faculty of clinician researchers from McMaster and the University of Toronto. The overarching aim of this learning activity was to provide clinicians with:
-
An update on the clinical overlap of diabetes, obesity and inflammatory disorders in adults with mood disorders with an emphasis on pathogenetic overlap and mechanistic models.
-
An evidence-based update and best practices in management of adults with mood disorders who have diabetes, obesity and/or inflammatory conditions.
-
A detailed review of the role of novel anti-inflammatory and metabolic treatments to improve cognitive function and mood symptom severity in adults with mood disorders
