ISBD’s Experts by Experience track delivers updated and cutting edge information and provides professionals with direct feedback from those who live with bipolar disorder. I cannot think of a better way to listen and to be heard.”

--Manuel Sanchez de Carmona, ISBD President

“My take home message from this meeting is hope. Hope that we can be a part of the process, not just by participating in the research, but by influencing the research as well.”

--Anne B.

“Having the Experts by Experience track throughout the conference is an incredible opportunity for researchers and patients alike. Patients can share their frustrations, hopes, and goals and see that impact research.”

--Mary Lou S.

#GivingTuesday



All donations made to the ISBD on #GivingTuesday will support patient registration scholarships to the Experts by Experience program at our annual conference, in addition to new programs being developed for people who live with bipolar disorder.  Every dollar received between 8:00pm EST on November 27th (12:00pm AEDT on November 28th) through 11:59pm EST on November 28th will be used to support patient programs.

A gift of $200 provides a fully-paid patient registration scholarship to our Experts by Experience program, a track of sessions where researchers, clinicians, and those who have lived experience with bipolar disorder come together to present the latest scientific treatments and therapies.  

As always, any donation over $25 makes you a Friend of ISBD, giving you access to special benefits delivered directly to your inbox.

Give what you can afford. The ISBD, its members, and their patients appreciate your support!
