Task Forces

The International Society for Bipolar Disorders recognizes that there are many unanswered questions central to developing treatments and improving clinical care for those living with bipolar illness.

One of ISBD’s earliest initiatives nearly 20 years ago formed Task Forces, bringing together respected international experts with experience in specific areas to address current unmet needs in bipolar science. 

ISBD Task Forces have explored a wide range of topics over the years, including targeting areas of scientific inquiry which do not always receive top research priority.  Supporting ISBD’s commitment to producing accessible educational content, our member driven Task Forces translate their findings across a variety of media to deliver updates from the scientific community in a way that can be useful to clinicians, patients, and caregivers. 

Task Forces work together to develop:

• Scientific guidelines
• Consensus papers
• Educational workshops
• Webinars
• Tip sheets
• Conference symposia
