Arunditi Xantus, MD September 14, 2009 Major depressive disorder Bipolar disorder type I and II Dysthymia Cyclothymia DSM-IV-TR also includes 3 mood disorder research categories ◦ Minor depressive disorder, recurrent brief depressive disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Others ◦ Mood disorder NOS, depressive disorder NOS, SIMD. Symptoms present for at least 2 weeks Depressed mood or anhedonia plus at least four of the following symptoms ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Significant change in weight Sleep disturbance Psychomotor retardation or agitation Fatigue or loss of energy Excessive guilt or feelings of worthlessness Difficulty concentrating Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide One week of elevated, expansive or irritable mood (less if hospitalized) At least 3 of the following (4 if mood is irritable) ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Inflated self esteem or grandiosity Decreased need for sleep Pressured speech or more talkative Flight of ideas or subjective sense of racing thoughts Distractability Increased goal directed activity or psychomotor agitation Risk-taking behavior (sexual promiscuity, increased spending) Four days of elevated, expansive, or irritable mood. At least 3 of the previously mentioned symptoms for mania (4 if mood is irritable) Key difference from manic episode– ◦ No marked social or occupational dysfunction ◦ Does not require hospitalization ◦ No psychotic features are present Criteria for both manic/hypomanic episode and major depressive episode are present for one week. Symptoms cause marked social or occupational dysfunction, require hospitalization, or psychotic features are present. Subjectively patients experience rapidly shifting mood. At least four mood episodes within one year. Mood episodes may be depressive, manic, hypomanic, or mixed. Patient must be symptom free for at least two months between episodes, or there must be a change in mood to an opposite type of episode. Disorder Manic symptom criteria Depressive symptom criteria Major Depressive Disorder No history of mania or hypomania History of major depressive episode (single or recurrent) Dysthymic disorder No history of mania or hypomania Depressed mood, more days than not, for at least two years (but not meeting criteria for a major depressive episode) Bipolar I disorder History of mania or mixed episodes Major depressive episodes typical but not required for diagnosis Bipolar II disorder At least one episode of hypomania; no manic or mixed episodes History or presence of at least one or more major depressive episodes Cyclothymic disorder For at least two years, the presence of numerous periods of hypomanic episodes For at least two years, numerous periods with depressive symptoms that do not meet criteria for a major depressive episode Mood disorder Lifetime prevalence MDD -10-25% Dysthymia ~ 6% Bipolar I 0.4 – 1.6% Bipolar II ~ 0.5% Cyclothymia 0.4 – 1.0% for women - 5-12% for men Epidemiology ◦ Life-time prevalence ~ 0.5 to 1.5 %. ◦ Male:female ratio 1:1. ◦ First episodes in males tends to be manic, 1st episode in females tends to be depressed. ◦ Higher rates of mood disorders amongst 1st degree relatives. 70% concordance rate with monozygotic twins. Clinical features ◦ 90% of patients w/ a single manic episode will have a recurrence ◦ Mixed episodes more likely in younger pts ◦ Episodes increase in freqency with age ◦ Common comorbid diagnoses Substance abuse Eating disorders ADHD ◦ 20% have rapid cycling poorer prognosis ◦ Suicide rate is 10-15% Traditional mood stabilizers Antidepressants ◦ Must be used with mood stabilizer ◦ TCAs and SNRIs = higher incidence of induced mania ◦ May induce rapid cycling Atypical antipsychotics Benzodiazepines ECT– for depressive or manic episodes Psychotherapy ◦ Aim is to increase insight to consequences of manic behavior Acute treatment ◦ Manic or mixed episode First line = lithium or valproate + antipsychotic For less ill patients monotherapy with lithium, valproate or antipsychotic (olanzapine*) Mixed episodes = valproate over lithium Benzodiazepines (short term) Antidepressants should be d/c if possible If first line med fails, add another first line med ECT Acute treatment ◦ Depressive episode First line tx = initiation of lithium or lamotrigine Antidepressant monotherapy not recommended Breakthrough depression on first line agent? First optimize first line agent Next, add lamotrigine, buproprion, SSRI, venlafaxine, or MAOI Treatment resisitant ECT Acute treatment ◦ Rapid cycling Identify and treat any underlying medical conditions hypothypothyroid, drug/alcohol use Taper antidepressants if possible Lithium or valproate (valproate!!!) Alternative = lamotrigine Maintenance treatment ◦ Valproate or lithium = best evidence ◦ Lamotrigine, carbamazepine, oxcarbamazepine = alternatives ◦ Antipsychotic should be tapered if not indicated* ◦ Psychosocial intervention– group therapy, therapy that addresses illness management ◦ Maintenance ECT Manic or mixed episodes ◦ Multiple studies show atypicals (monotherapy or adjunct) are superior to placebo All approved except clozapine, asenapine, and paliperidone Depressive episodes ◦ Olanzapine+ fluoxetine (OFC) superior to olanzapine alone and placebo-- FDA approved ◦ Quetiapine superior to placebo-- FDA approved ◦ Lamotrigine also has favorable evidence Maintenance FDA approved-- olanzapine and quetiapine monotherapy Psychosocial ◦ Studies have proved efficacy of Family-focused therapy Cognitive therapy Longitudinal psychoeducational programs (2 years) Techniques aimed to regulate social rhythms Lithium: the classic mood stabilizer Anticonvulsants as mood stabilizers - Valproic acid - Carbamazepine - Oxcarbazepine/eslicarbazepine - Lamotrigine - Topiramate - Gabapentin Atypical antipsychotics: not just for psychotic mania Other agents used in bipolar disorder Indications FDA approved-- bipolar manic episode and mainatenance. FDA approved -- children 12 years and older. Augmentation in depressed patients. Other clinical uses: schizoaffective disorder, severe cyclothymia, borderline personality disorder, impulse control disorders. Pharmacology May block inositol-1-phosphatase, leading to interuption of PIP 2nd messenger system. Excreted by kidneys. Not metabolized in liver!! Impaired renal function or decrease in fluid or salt intake can lead to toxicity. ◦ Lower doses required in elderly 2nd decreased GFR. Clinical guidelines First line agent for bipolar disorder. ~30% will not respond to lithium. * Screening labs: BMP (BUN/creatinine), TSH, CBC, EKG in patients >40 or with a cardiac history, and urine pregnancy.

Pancreatitis: rare, occurs early in treatment. Hematologic: thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunctions bleeding disorders. Side effects, cont. Neurologic: tremor, ataxia, HA, insomnia, agitation. Other GI: changes in appetite, wt gain, diarrhea, constipation. Dermatologic: alopecia, hirsutism, changes in facial features, maculopapular rash. Overdose: symptoms include somnolence, heart block, and coma. Other drug-drug interactions Valproate can displace warfarin from protein binding– monitor carefully! Valproate inhibits the metabolism, leading to higher serum levels of ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Lamotrigine Ethosuxamide Diazepam AZT Drugs that increase valproate levels aspirin Drugs that decrease valproate levels rifampin phenobarbitol (nonP450 induction) phenytoin (non-P450 induction) carbamazepine (nonP450 induction) FDA approved indications: ◦ Bipolar I disorder, acute manic and mixed episodes ◦ Epilepsy, partial, generalized, and mixed types ◦ Glossopharyngeal neuralgia ◦ Trigeminal neuralgia Other uses: cyclothymia, schizoaffective disorder, aggression, impulsivity, personality disorders, adjunct in depression. May be used alone or in combination with lithium. Mechanism of action: largely unknown. ◦ Bind to voltage-dependent sodium channels in inactive state prolonged inactivation 2nd inactivation of Ca++ channels decreased synaptic transmission. Metabolism: via P450 cytochrome 3A4. Induces its own metabolism. Excretion: renal, including active metabolites. Half-life: 25-65 hrs after 2 weeks, 12-17 hrs. Clinical guidelines: Avoid in patients with liver, cardiac, hematologic abnormalities, as well as renal dysfunction. Monitoring ◦ Initial: BMP (BUN/Cr), LFTs, EKG in >40 or with cardiac abnl, u preg. ◦ Serum levels: at Day 5 then weekly x 1-2 mo then biwekly x 2 mo then q 3-4 months (serum level 8-12) ◦ Check LFTs, renal function, CBC, and electrolytes after one month, than q 3 months.

Lamotrigine and valproate can increase levels of the active metabolite may have toxicity even with normal serum levels. Carbamazepine decreases valproate levels. Use diuretics with caution (hyponatremia.) Due to molecular similarity with TCAs, allow 2 week washout period before initiating MAOIs. Similar in efficacy to carbamazepine. FDA approved for partial seizure, monotherapy and adjunct. Use in bipolar disorder = non-FDA approved indication. Metabolism: induces 3A4/5, inhibits 2C19 Differences from carbamazepine: ◦ Fewer drug interactions ◦ Fewer incidences of SJS, hematologic issues, and hepatotoxicity ◦ Not associated with neutropenia ◦ Patients switched from carbamazepine require 1.5x the dose Indications FDA approved for ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Bipolar I disorder, maintenance Lennox-Gastaut syndrome; adjunct Partial seizure, adjunct or monotherapy Tonic-clonic seizure, primary generalized, adjunct Non-FDA include bipolar disorder depressed phase. Lamotrigine appears to be more effective than other mood stabilizers in unipolar depression; studies underway.

Monitoring ◦ Periodic monitoring of kidney function. ◦ Exclude pregnancy. ◦ Serum levels not necessary Pregnancy category C– avoid in first trimester. Discourage breastfeeding. No interaction with other anticonvulsants. FDA approved uses are limited to seizure disorders. Studies do not support the effectiveness of topirimate in bipolar disorder. ◦ May consider as adjuvunctive in obese pts. May have some effectiveness in impulse control disorder, migraines, PTSD, and bulimia. Mechanism of action unknown. ◦ Potentiates GABA at non-benzo-, nonbarbituate- sensitive receptor site. Metabolism: Renal, with minimal hepatic metabolism. Clinical guidelines ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Monitor renal function. Decrease dose to ½ in renal impairment. No dose adjustment in the elderly.
