MDSG sponsors a series of authoritative lectures on various aspects of mood disorders. These lectures are designed to keep people with mood disorders, their families, and friends informed about recent developments in the understanding of mood disorders and in the treatment of people with such disorders.
Anyone can attend our lectures. There is no need to pre-register, just show up. For non-MDSG members, there is an $8 suggested contribution. MDSG members that joined the group after July 2008 are requested to pay $4; old time MDSG members are admitted free (these prices were changed in September 2008).
