Treatment Considerations Across the Bipolar Depression Spectrum

In this episode, Greg W. Mattingly, MD, and Vladimir Maletic, MD, share their thoughts on treatment strategies across the bipolar depression spectrum. They begin by talking about their stance on treating bipolar with comorbidities with a holistic vs stepwise approach and discuss what strategies they would consider for a patient not yet diagnosed with but who is at risk of developing bipolar depression. In addition, they discuss the concept of phase-specific treatment, considerations for medication-related adverse events, and the utility of adjunctive measures for managing bipolar depression.
