Funding to help a new therapy for bipolar disorder

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 30 August 2023

A new psychological therapy for bipolar disorder is being investigated - this thanks to the announcement of more than half a million dollars granted to Christchurch health researchers from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation.

Six research projects are set to receive their share of the funds from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation to undergo research that could drastically help New Zealanders with a range of health conditions.

Our next guest, Dr Katie Douglas, is one of the recipients of the funding. She speaks to Jesse about how the money will be used for a new therapy for treating bipolar disorder.
