MDD can be treated by ADs. BP is best treated by mood stabilizers and APs to avoid mania. Also I think BP depression can in some cases actually be resistant to the normal approach of treatment with ADs (refractory depression) such as in my case. So I think it is useful to distinguish between the two.

Comments?
