6. People with what sorts of psychiatric disorders are candidates for treatment with lamotrigine? (Lamictal)

It is too early to be very specific about which mood disorders are most likely to respond to treatment with lamotrigine. Patients with hard-to-treat bipolar syndromes and with schizoaffective disorder have been treated more often than patients with "treatment-resistant" unipolar disorders. Some people with such hard to treat unipolar depressions have been treated with good results. Some patients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a disorder that many psychiatrists believe is a variant of Bipolar Disorder, have responded to treatment with lamotrigine.

Patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and with Depersonalization Disorder have also responded well to lamotrigine therapy.
