Listen as 2 experts in psychiatry discuss treatment strategies across the spectrum of bipolar depression—including in patients with comorbidities and patients at risk of developing bipolar depression—as well as their thoughts regarding phase-specific vs holistic treatment approaches.
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.
