AP MST Drugs → brain structures
NICE • Diagnosis • Full history of the patient (family, any episode, symptoms between the episodes) • Symptoms profile, triggers to previous episodes, social and personal functioning, comorbidities, physical health, current psychosocial stressors • Interview a family member
NICE • BE CAREFUL • If (Psychotic symptoms, ↑ suicidal ideation, ↑ drug misuse) → late BD and not SKZ (minorities) • If alcohol | drug → wait 7 days before diagnosis • Late onset (>40yrs) → hypothyroidism, stroke, neurological disorders (dementia)
NICE • Before a rapid cycling BD is diagnosed consider: • Erratic compliance • hypothyroidism, AD, suboptimal medication regimes • Lithium withdrawal
NICE • Consider a diagnosis of BD before Axis II if there are mood swings • During treatment consider compliance before considering a personality disorder
NICE • Treatment (1/3) • Inform the patient • Contraception and risk of pregnancy • See patients once / (1|2) week (for 3 months)
NICE • Treatment (2/3) • Acute mania (and mixed→ AP, valproate, lithium, BDZ • AP (olanz, risp, quet)→ severe manic symptoms | marked behavioral disturbances • Valproate or lithium → previous response, good compliance, augmentation of AP • Lithium → not severe symptoms • NOT RECOMMENDED: CBZ, Gabapent, Lamo
NICE • Treatment (3/3) • Acute depression • Add AP (quetiapine) to AD (SSRI better than TCI) • No AD → rapid-cycling, recent hypomanic, recent functional impairing and rapid mood fluctuations • Stop AD → after 8 weeks of symptoms relief (parox, venlafax → higher risk of discontinuation syndrome) • Avoid → Lamo a single treatment for BDI
Mania, which treatment ? 3 weeks
Mania, which treatment ? Change in mania rating scores
Mania, which treatment ? Risk difference for treatment responders
Mania, which treatment ? Risk difference for drop outs
Use second generation AP (risp, olanz, quet) for the treatment of acute mania (3 weeks) Mood stabilizers are second choice Conclusion 1
Symptom remission
Use second generation AP (olanz, quet) for the treatment of acute depression during BD Mood stabilizers are less efficacious No strong evidence for using SSRI Conclusion 2
the same regimen that successfully treated the acute bipolar mood episode attempt monotherapy. However, many bipolar patients require medication combinations First line: lithium, lamotrigine, risperidone (im) Second line: aripiprazole, valproate, quet, olanz Suicide risk → lithium Maintenance, which treatment ?
For maintenance use the same drug started during acute phase If not possible use lithium, risperidone im, lamotrigine, valp Start with monotherapy, but multitreatment is more effective Conclusion 3

Overall, no significant brain volume modification in bipolar patients taking valproate or AP Valproate and AP
AP mechanism • Serotonin-glutamate Type II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptors have been reported to form heterodimers that modulate G-protein-mediated intracellular signaling differentially compared to mGluR2 and 5-HT(2A) homomers
Serotonin-Dopamine-Scaffolding The scaffolding protein PSD-95 is known to interact with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), D(2) and 5-HT(2) receptors, regulating their activation state
Homer1a, the inducible member of the Homer family of PSD proteins that is implicated in glutamatergic signal transduction, is induced in striatum by antipsychotics with high dopamine receptor affinity and in the cortex by antipsychotics with mixed serotonergic/dopaminergic profile
