The most useful feature about IFMAD meetings is that current clinical hot topics and new data are presented in a balanced format, adequately dissected and discussed in a collegiate atmosphere, and digested over dinner.
This year topics that will be addressed include educational strategies to prevent suicide, the place of antidepressants in bipolar depression, new approaches in treating alcohol abuse, improving placebo control groups and a core focus will be on the new antidepressants on the horizon.
