Medical Comorbidity in Mood Disorders: The Link With Metabolic-Inflammatory Systems
Roger S McIntyre, MD, FRCPC
There is growing evidence that inflammation and metabolic factors such as adiposity may play important roles in the pathophysiology of mental illnesses. Psychiatric and the medical disorders should be considered when selecting treatment, so that treatment not only can avoid harm but can also potentially be selected to suit the specific comorbid population. In this presentation, Dr. Roger McIntyre will discuss how to select treatment strategies that take medical factors into consideration.
