Thanks for sharing that, Moose.
I like the authors' focus on syndrome based long term treatment rather than on symptom based short term treatment.
Some points that interested me included
- treatments potentially intensifying or exacerbating symptoms;
- when a polypharmacy approach has been largely ineffective, sometimes a removal of a medicine can result in the improvement of symptoms;
- the potential for some atypical antipsychotics to be effective for treating bipolar depression.
I wonder if my pdoc has read this article. She seems to be thinking more broadly lately.
