Abstract

The treatment of bipolar disorder, including management of mania and depression in primary and secondary care, is well described in the NICE guidance on this subject1.. This article summarises and updates the guidance on the treatment of bipolar depression, describing the use of mood stabilisers in combination with antidepressants as well as the use of quetiapine and lamotrigine and thus provides practical advice on how bipolar depression can be managed in primary care.
