In this episode, Drs Greg W. Mattingly and Charles DeBattista have a conversation about the history and features of the bipolar spectrum. Because patients can present in mixed vignettes, diagnosis of bipolar depression can be challenging. The experts offer insight on when to hold a suspicion for bipolar depression, as well as common presentations they have seen over their years in clinical practice. The conversation then progresses to potential “triggers” of bipolar depression and culminates with a discussion of the current treatment paradigm for patients with bipolar depression: first- or second-generation antipsychotics.
