title: Current issues in the treatment of depression in bipolar disorder patients.
abstract: Reviewing abstracts of posters and presentations at scientific meetings offers a rapid overview summary of the state of the art of a given discipline and/or disorder, with data presented being available months to years before formal publication occurs. This article reviews selected abstracts of posters presented at the Sixth International Conference on Bipolar Disorder, held in Pittsburgh, PA June 16-18, 2005. The review consists of the consideration of nine published abstracts (of a total of 278 abstracts). The major focus of this review is on the nature and treatment of depression in bipolar disorder patients, and includes information generally not previously circulated to psychiatric professionals.
