Q

why do we are about preventing mood episodes in BD

A

because on average the risk of recurrence increases with # of previous episodes

also–> number of previous episodes is associated with increased duration and symptomatic severity of subsequent episodes

also–> number of episodes is associated with lower threshold for developing further episodes

also–> increased risk of dementia with more episodes

Q

what are the three broad clinical stages in the staging system for BD

A
  1. individuals at increased risk for developing BD due to family history as well as certain subsyndromal symptoms predictive of conversion to full BD
  2. patients with fewer episodes and optimal functioning in interepisodic periods
  3. patients with recurrent episodes as well as decline in functioning and cognition

*heterogeneity in BD has prevented clinical use of staging systems

28
Q

should monotherapy be tried before combination therapy?

A

not necessarily–> treating clinician makes the decision for mono or combo therapy

combo

30

31
Q

cariprazine

35
Q

A

lithium

quetiapine

divalproex

asenapine

36
Q

which first line agents for treatment of acute mania have evidence for preventing mania

A

all EXCEPT cariprazine

37
Q

which first line agent for acute mania has the most tolerability concerns in the acute period

divalproex

39
Q

which first line combination therapies for acute mania have the most safety concerns in the maintenance period

A

quetiapine + lithium/divalproex

*significant impact on treatment selection

Q

which combination therapy for acute mania seems to have the best tolerability and safety profile in the maintenance period

A

asenapine + lithium/divalproex

*but this is also ranked fourth in the combo ranking

the next safest/most tolerable is aripiprazole + lithium/divalproex followed by the quetipaine and risperidone combos

Q

does ziprasidone treat and/or prevent bipolar deprssion

A

no data for prevention

data shows it does NOT treat bipolar depression

it seems to do both (level 4 evidence)

Q

does haloperidol treat and/or prevent bipolar deprssion

A

data suggests it does NOT prevent

no data with regard to treating bipolar depression

44

comparable efficacy

due to lack of evidence for additional efficacy

yes–>

predictor of poor outcome

i.e greater severity of manic symptoms, longer time to remission, more reported side effects of medication

56
Q

are there specific agents recommended to treat anxious distress is mania

A

not studies specifically examining this–> anxious distress tends to improve as the mood episode improves

post hoc analyses:
divalproex
quetiapine
olanzapine
may be helpful

at least HALF

58

A

if psychosis is mood incongruent seem t have more severe illness with poorer long term prognosis

no

also no evidnece that any particular combo therapy is better for psychotic features
