Finding Balance in the Treatment of Bipolar l Disorder and Schizophrenia.

March 2, 2023 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm UTC-7

Identify current unmet needs for patients with bipolar I disorder (BPI) and schizophrenia (SZ)
Explain similarities, differences, and potential clinical implications of cariprazine’s pharmacologic characteristics relative to previously approved 2nd and 3rd-generation antipsychotics.
