State of Play in Strasbourg University Hospital of the Place of Consultations Specializing in the Diagnosis of Mood Disorders

Mood disorders (depressive disorders and bipolar disorders) are among the ten most worrying diseases of the 21st century according to the WHO.

In order to support psychiatrists in their diagnostic reflection, structures have been created. Since 2009, the Psychiatry Service 2 within the Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictology Pole of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg has offered specialized consultations in mood disorders.

More than 10 years after the creation of these consultations, it seems interesting to study the profile of the users and to describe the nature of the reports of these in-depth evaluation consultations (diagnosis, therapeutic advice)
