1 Overview Management of Bipolar Disorder When Interventions Fail Practical Tips Terence A. Ketter, MD Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford, California Candidates for beyond first-line interventions Inadequate efficacy, safety/tolerability, feasibility Urgent efficacy need Clinical circumstances important Accurate diagnoses (primary secondary) Illness phase (acute mania/depression, maintenance) Illness characteristics (rapid cycling, comorbidities, med Hx) Efficacy need (urgent non-urgent care) Primary priority (efficacy tolerability) Beyond first-line intervention options include Switching (no efficacy and/or inadequate tolerability) Augmenting (partial efficacy and adequate tolerability) Adjunctive psychosocial treatments Publishing, Inc.; 21. Established Clinical Correlates of Bipolar Depression Commonly antidepressant-resistant/exacerbated Antidepressant-resistance commonly already demonstrated Mixed Episodes (DSM-IV-TR) Commonly lithium-resistant Commonly antidepressant-resistant/exacerbated Rapid Cycling Commonly mood stabilizer-resistant Commonly antidepressant-resistant/exacerbated Comorbid Disorders Alcohol/substance use and anxiety disorders most common Not otherwise specified Subtype Misdiagnosis (eg, personality disorder, BD-I, BD-II) Missed diagnosis (eg, personality disorder, BD-I, BD-II) Adjunctive psychotherapy commonly underutilized, can be crucial BD-I = bipolar I disorder; BD-II = bipolar II disorder.

Worth considering 2. Avoid Question 2: Current Advisability of Benzodiazepines Worth considering (probably) Prominent panic/anxiety/insomnia/psychomotor agitation Generally adequate tolerability Limited sedation risk; can attenuate (rather than trigger) akathisia Limited utility of other agents Mood stabilizers have at best most modest anxiolytic effects Antidepressants might destabilize mood 3 SGAs already overly sedating/activating No personal/family history of alcohol/substance use disorder May ultimately prove necessary to attenuate akathisia Addiction potential (not extreme in this patient) Unlikely to relieve psychosis (unless actually severe anxiety) May exacerbate depression (?)

Treatment resistance risks Bipolar depression, mixed episodes Comorbid disorders, rapid cycling Treatment options (commonly combination therapy) SGAs (± mood stabilizers, antidepressants, anxiolytics) Caution with antidepressants (± SGA/MS counter-balance) Novel adjuncts occasionally beneficial Thyroid, pramipexole, topiramate, nutriceuticals, sleep dep, light Rx Adjunctive psychosocial interventions Try to move from symptomatic to functional recovery Publishing, Inc.; 21.
