Depressive Mixed States (DMX) is a condition where individuals experience both depressive symptoms and symptoms of mania or hypomania at the same time. In this session we will delve into the complexities of DMX and its diagnosis, as well as the available treatment options. A challenging diagnosis to make, it often presents with atypical symptoms that can be mistaken for other psychiatric conditions. However, understanding the clinical presentation of DMX is crucial for its accurate diagnosis and successful treatment.
Attendees will learn about the evidence-based treatment approaches that have been shown to be effective in managing DMX and how to tailor these approaches to individual patients. The session will be beneficial for those who encounter DMX in their practice and wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in its assessment and management.
