title: Bipolar disorder- and major depression-relevant abstracts from the 2009 9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry Meeting.
abstract: The author has reviewed selected bipolar disorder- and major depression-relevant abstracts from the 2009 9th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry Meeting in Paris. The seven selected abstracts, which represent a small percentage of the presentations made at the meeting, explore the relationship between bipolar and unipolar diagnoses and suicidal behavior, the differentiation of bipolar I and bipolar II disorder, and some novel non-industry-supported treatments of bipolar and unipolar depression.
