- Describe strategies for the management of patients with mood disorders over the lifespan and through the stages of severity including acute risk, functional impairment, residual symptoms relapse and recurrence

- Describe how to safely manage mood disorders in pregnancy, the elderly and patients with comorbid alcohol and drug use
- Safely manage patients with comorbid mood disorders and common chronic medical conditions
