I have BP1 and have as many depressive episodes as manic episodes. Therefore, I take an antidepressant. Also my depressive episodes usually last longer than my manic episodes. Luckily, ECT works for both. I like to say that for me, mania is expensive while depression is dangerous. When I am manic I have trouble controlling my spending. When depressed I become suicidal almost every time. I need my antidepressant.
