Central Training's Psychosis and Bipolar training course aims to assist delegates in understanding what the terms describe, the different types of bipolar and the characteristic 'signs and symptoms' of psychosis-voices, visions and unusual beliefs. The course will also review the NICE recommended treatment pathways, including an overview of medications prescribed for psychosis and bipolar, highlighting both intended and unintended (side) effects and psychological therapies. Delegates will be introduced to growing evidence supporting the use of psychological and social approaches to psychosis that can promote engagement, self-care and recovery.
