5. WELCOME LETTER
To all prospective delegates.
The International Forum on Mood and Anxiety Disorders (IFMAD)
will be held from 07 to 09 November 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
The most useful feature about IFMAD meetings is that current clinical
hot topics and new data are presented in a balanced format, adequately
dissected and discussed in a collegiate atmosphere, and digested over
dinner.
The meetings are always enjoyable and informative and along with
the usual updates on new treatments in other areas this year’s IFMAD
will be an efficient way of catching up with the latest developments.
This year topics that will be addressed include educational strategies to
prevent suicide, the place of antidepressants in bipolar depression, new
approaches in treating alcohol abuse, improving placebo control groups
and a core focus will be on the new antidepressants on the horizon.
We invite you to join us again in November 2012 to give you the
opportunity to keep abreast of the latest advances.
It will be our pleasure to welcome you in Barcelona.
Siegfried Kasper, Stuart A. Montgomery,
Chairman Co-Chairman
