Webinar, June 13th, 2025, with McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. When it comes to recognizing and treating mental health conditions, bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia often stand out as especially challenging. While BD tends to be characterized by intense mood swings, and schizophrenia is largely marked by psychosis, the two can share common symptoms.
* So, what should health care and public health professionals know about the key distinctions between BD and schizophrenia? How is each condition diagnosed and treated? And who is most at risk of developing one or the other?
* Ann K. Shinn, MD, MPH, offers a comprehensive look at both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, provides guidance for recognizing their signs and symptoms, and answers questions about effective treatment for these conditions.
* About the speaker: Ann K. Shinn, MD, MPH, is the director of clinical research in McLean’s Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Research Program, and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
