Three leading clinical academics will present the 'Top ten facts every psychiatrist should know' about psychosis, bipolar disorder and depression. These will be based on results from systematic reviews & meta-analyses that clinicians can share with their patients to help them in joint decision making about their management. These will also provide corrective 'factsheets' for psychiatrists to challenge the latter-day antipsychiatrists. Each speaker will briefly cover diagnostic reliability and validity, prevalence, natural history and aetiology, before focussing on pharmacological and psychosocial interventions.
