We invite you to join us for a program featuring a NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health expert who will discuss bipolar disorder, a serious but treatable mental illness that frequently presents in early adulthood. Bipolar disorder is commonly portrayed in books, film, and television, and discussed on social media, but public understanding of the illness is limited and often marked by misconceptions and stigma.

Speaker

Dr. Kane maintains a private practice in which he works with many young adults with bipolar disorder.

• Signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder

All are welcome to attend this free webinar.
