Summary
Mixed episode bipolar disorders are now referred to as "mixed features" they occur when a person experiences symptoms of depression and mania simultaneously, according to the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This shift reflects a broader understanding of the condition. Understanding and distinguishing these mixed mood states across Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and MDD is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. Additionally, reviewing existing evidence on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of treatments tailored to these conditions is essential for optimizing patient outcomes.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic dive into the complexities of mixed mood states in Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). These mixed states involve the simultaneous experience of both manic or hypomanic and depressive symptoms, creating a unique challenge for diagnosis and treatment. This podcast will distinguish these mixed mood states across different disorders and review the latest evidence on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of treatments designed to manage these challenging conditions.
