Statement of Need

Bipolar I depression is a serious, debilitating disorder, and the challenge of management is compounded by the limited treatment options that are available. Current D2-targeted strategies to manage bipolar depression are limited in their effectiveness, as these approaches do not specifically target the neurobiology of the disease.

Data is emerging that demonstrates that the novel treatment strategies that target D2 receptors have shown significant clinical benefit in reducing symptom burden and improving quality of life in patients with bipolar I depression.

This CME Outfitters Snack features a faculty-guided interactive 3-D model animation that examines how D2 receptors relate to the pathogenesis of the bipolar I depression, and subsequently, how D2-targeted therapies exert their beneficial effects in promoting symptomatic remission and functional recovery.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Evaluate the role of dopamine D3 receptor function in the pathogenesis of bipolar I depression.
  • Analyze the current standards of care for bipolar I depression and their limitations in achieving ideal outcomes.
  • Incorporate recent clinical trial data on novel therapies with unique MOAs to achieve optimal clinical outcomes in bipolar I depression.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Allergan.

Target Audience

Physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists.
