The Use of Antidepressants in Bipolar Depression.
Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology 2018 August 25
Depression remains a significant debilitating and frequent phase of illness for patients with bipolar disorder. There are few FDA-approved medications for its treatment, only one of which includes a traditional antidepressant (olanzapine-fluoxetine combination), despite studies that demonstrate traditional antidepressants are one of the most commonly prescribed class of medications for bipolar patients in a depressive episode.
