Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2022 Psychiatry Winter Update in collaboration with the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists (AACP) and look forward to seeing you in Carlsbad on December 1st-3rd and online.

This summit is the place to learn about cutting edge mental health topics from A to Z. Collaborate with peers virtually or in person and connect with the experts as we explore the most recent updates that impact your clinical practice.

Our internationally renowned faculty will present the most up-to-date, clinically relevant information, to assist you in the treatment of your patients with Depressive Disorder, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Sleep Disorders. Other clinically relevant hot topics include cultural competence, youth mental health, maternal mental health and a special session on neuropsychiatry looking at cognition and psychosis across the diagnostic spectrum. Our panel of over 25 expert faculty draws upon top researchers, teachers, and clinicians to discuss how to implement these strategies in your practice including:

• Anita H. Clayton, MD; Chair, Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences, University of Virginia
• Marlene P. Freeman, MD; Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School  
• Henry A. Nasrallah, MD, Editor-in-Chief, Current Psychiatry; President, AACP

At a glance, the session themes for this conference include:

• Current Perspectives in Mood Disorders
• The Science of Sleep
• Lessons in Neuropsychiatry: A Focus on Cognition and Psychosis 
• Current Challenges in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
• Raising the Bar in Schizophrenia Care
• Leveling the Playing Field in Mental Health
• Paving the Way for Improvements in Maternal Mental Health

Our in-person attendees will have valuable opportunities to interact with colleagues and faculty outside of the educational sessions. Take a walk through the Poster Hall and gain insight to new perspectives and research; network with your colleagues, and don’t forget to meet with our industry sponsors in the Exhibit Hall. Online participants will have a “virtual coffee house” to network with colleagues and ask questions of faculty during Q&A sessions.

Once again, we look forward to welcoming you to this important educational event. This conference is a must for practicing clinicians who want the latest updates to be at the cutting edge of mental health care.
