Patients with bipolar disorder spend three times as many weeks in their lives in states of depression as in states of mania. For many, depressions are lengthy and unremitting. When a patient with bipolar disorder experiences a severe depressive episode, we have various medical treatment options available to us, but none of them are optimal. Mood stabilizing medications are much more effective in stabilizing mania than in stabilizing depression. |
