BIPOLAR DEPRESSION
BIPOLAR DEPRESSION Most episodes Longer duration than mania Most of psychosocial impairment 89% of severe or completed suicide attempts YET Despite recent improvements, bipolar depression is usually misdiagnosed and until recently there has been no established acute or long term treatment Lish et al J Affective Disord 1994; 31:281-294; MacQueen et al Acta Psychiatr Scand 2000; 101:374-381
Depression is THE Problem Asymptomatic 53% Bipolar I (Judd et al. Archives of General Psychiatry 59:530-537, 2002) Symptomatic 47% Depressed 67% Manic/ hypomanic 20% Mixed 13% Bipolar II (Judd et al. Archives of General Psychiatry 60:261-269, 2003) Asymptomatic 46% Symptomatic 54% Depressed 94% Hypomanic 2% Mixed 4%

BEST FOR BIPOLAR DEPRESSION? Olanzapine + fluoxetine Olanzapine Lurasidone Quetiapine Valproate SSRIs?
GUIDELINES ON BIPOLAR DEPRESSION BAP 2016 NICE 2015 Consider the use of an antidepressant with an antimanic drug in Bipolar I patients Consider quetiapine or olanzapine monotherapy Consider lamotrigine as monotherapy in bipolar II disorder Consider adding lamotrigine to quetiapine or lithium Consider ECT in refractory depression Consider the strategy for long term treatment as patient recovers Offer fluoxetine combined with olanzapine or quetiapine monotherapy. If the person prefers, consider either olanzapine (without fluoxetine) or lamotrigine monotherapy. If there is no response to fluoxetine combined with olanzapine, or quetiapine, consider lamotrigine monotherapy. Within 4 weeks of resolution of symptoms, discuss with the person, and their carers if appropriate, whether to continue psychological or pharmacological treatment for bipolar depression or start long-term treatment
