A few weeks before her first visit to the clinic, she was prescribed sertraline which she had previously taken with for treatment of non-puerperal episodes of depression. Within 2 weeks of the retrial of sertraline 75 mg daily, there was a marked improvement in symptoms of depression and anxiety. She also had obsessions and compulsions, but these were not severe enough to reach the diagnostic criteria of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The diagnosis of major depressive disorder was confirmed due to the history of at least 10 episodes over as many years (see Figure 1). She had made two suicide attempts including a drug overdose following which she was hospitalized. She denied hypo/manic symptoms; however, she reported a history of bipolar I disorder in a sibling. Due to the history of sustained response to sertraline, we recommended continuation of the current dose (75 mg daily). She took it for several months before discontinuing it during her subsequent pregnancy. She remained well after stopping it but had a recurrence of depression immediately following her delivery. She was prescribed sertraline by her family physician, and after a few weeks, quetiapine 25 mg was added. She was also taking lorazepam 0.5 mg/daily, as needed.</p><p>She was referred to our clinic again 8 months after giving birth to her second child for evaluation of intrusive thoughts of harm coming to her children. She had become increasingly worried about their safety since the abrupt cessation of breastfeeding 4 months earlier. In particular, she was afraid of them dying in a motor vehicle accident, or a fire at home. She had spent thousands of dollars on car seats, strollers, mattresses, baby monitors, car window breakers, and fire alarms to safeguard her children. She also reported a history of compulsive skin-picking and hair-pulling. She had become overly sensitive to noises in the house, such as the dishwasher, breathing sounds, and chewing. On the Mood Disorder Questionnaire, she endorsed all items with co-occurrence and moderate functional impairment. She reported having had brief hypomanic and mixed episodes lasting up to a week since her last delivery. She did not have psychotic features and denied abusing alcohol or using illicit drugs.</p><p>Of her extant symptoms, she was particularly concerned about the daily occurrences of episodes of intense anger toward her husband and children. These episodes lasted 45–60 min and were accompanied by yelling, and destruction of property. There were no acts of violence, but she was afraid that she might harm others. She experienced anger attacks after her first delivery, but these were less intense, and less frequent than her rage attacks over the last few months. Her diagnosis was revised to bipolar II disorder and OCD.

The most commonly proposed mechanism, that antidepressants ‘overshoot’ their antidepressant effect to create a manic or mixed state, is unlikely since antidepressants have actually been found to be ineffective in treating bipolar depression.

Stimulation of the serotonin (5HT) receptors depolarizes the post-synaptic neuron. Stimulation of 5HT<sub>3</sub> may be of particular importance since it is coupled to a cation channel that directly depolarizes the membrane. These effects <i>directly</i> impact the physiology of patients with bipolar disorder to alter neuronal excitability in a fashion that worsens both mania and depression.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Proposed Concept</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The most consistently observed biological abnormality in individuals going through mania or bipolar depression involves a decline in Na pump activity, with consequent elevation of intracellular Na levels. Antidepressant treatment potentiates this, particularly by activation of 5HT<sub>3</sub>. This hypothesis can be tested by coadministering a 5HT<sub>3</sub> antagonist (e.g., vortioxetine or ondansetron) to achieve blockade of that receptor while treating bipolar depression with a serotoninergic antidepressant.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8959,"journal":{"name":"Bipolar Disorders","volume":"26 8","pages":"772-778"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142103932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
