The authors dedicate the CANMAT/ISBD guidelines to Dr. Vivek Kusumakar, who passed away suddenly on January 14, 2009. He was an editor for the first CANMAT Guidelines for bipolar disorder, published in 1997. Dr. Kusumakar’s intellectual curiosity to understand the causes of mental illnesses, scientific ability to lead discovery and development of new treatments, develop and disseminate innovative educational programs to improve outcomes for people with bipolar disorder, and his drive for excellence, along with an ability to inject his vision and enthusiasm to his colleagues will be sorely missed.
