In this episode, Joseph F. Goldberg, MD, and Roger McIntyre, MD, FRCPC, shed light on the symptom improvement timeline in bipolar depression. This is a topic made more complex when factoring in individual patient characteristics and comorbidities, but the 2 experts have astute insights on how to tailor a management plan based on such factors. They cover symptom management and improvement from a variety of angles, including evaluating improvement in functionality and mood, guidance on follow-up and dose adjustment schedules, the utility of measurement-based care, and—of most importance—how to best communicate with and support a patient while they work towards remission and recovery.
