Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Rm 101LT
University of British Columbia
This session is a free public lecture presented by Drs. Erin Michalak and Raymond Lam. All are welcome to attend, but registration is required and seating is limited!
Dr. Lam is a psychiatrist and Medical Director of the Mood Disorders Centre at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, a new outpatient clinical research facility jointly operated by the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health. Dr. Michalak is a psychologist and leader of the Collaborative RESearch Team to study psychosocial issues in bipolar disorder (CREST.BD).
Our presenters will be discussing new developments in online and mobile health apps that facilitate measurement-based care for people with mood disorders–including the Mood Disorders Centre’s new mobile web app, MoodFx.
MoodFx is a new interactive tool designed to address gaps in recognizing and treating depression, anxiety, and problems in cognition and work functioning in people with depression and other mood disorders. MoodFx helps individuals to partner with their family doctor and other mental health care providers to track their symptoms during diagnosis and treatment using evidence-based questionnaires.
This public lecture is part of a health professional education program, the Mood Disorders Centre Clinical Day. Pay parking is available at the Thunderbird Parkade and the Health Sciences Parkade.
