Symptom Management in Bipolar Depression: Realistic Expectations and Strategies for Improvement

CCO Neuroscience Podcast

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.
