Testimonials

“This conference is very special to me to the point that I already received job offers here.”

Taiane de Azevedo Cardoso

“ISBD recognizes the importance and embraces different kinds of expertise … the expertise of family members and people who live with bipolar disorder themselves.”

Erin Michalak

“Meeting people with the same interest, expanding my international network, that is really important … that’s why I have been an ISBD member for the last 25 years.”

Ralph Kupka

“The implications of the findings of the [Cognition] task force for the field have actually been quite large, much greater than the impact we would have had … by individual research groups”
