Bipolar Disorder: Mixed Mania and Rapid Cycling • Mixed mania – Simultaneous symptoms of depression and mania – Evident in up to 30-40% of all bipolar I patients – Women >men • Rapid cycling – 4 mood episodes yearly – 3 times women >men – Ultrarapid cycling: 4 episodes monthly 1. Evans DL. J Clin Psych 2000;61 (Suppl 13):26-31. 2. American Psychiatric Association: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision. Washington, DC. American Psychiatric Association, 2000. BIPOLAR DISORDERS (DSM-IV) • Bipolar I Disorder – (manic depressive illness with or without psychosis) • Bipolar II disorder – (episodes of major depression alternating with episodes of hypomania which are not severe enough to result in impairment of function) • Cyclothymic disorder – (brief and attenuated episodes of depression and hypomania sometimes known as minor cyclic mood disorder) • Lifetime prevalence: 3% to 4% of general population 5 Misdiagnosis 2000 National DMDA Bipolar Survey (n=600) 69% Misdiagnosis occurred Most frequent misdiagnosis: Unipolar depression 35% were symptomatic for more than 10 years before correct diagnosis 10+ years NDMDA: National Depressive and Manic-Depressive Association. Hirschfeld RMA, et al. J Clin Psychiatry. 2003;64:161-174. 6 7 Further Diagnostic Difficulty • A much larger group of patients demonstrate milder and/or atypical forms of episodic mood disturbances – Frequently resistant to standard antidepressants – Some worsened by antidepressants • Efforts at clinical subtyping the so-called soft bipolar spectrum are ongoing – Currently: DSM-IV Bipolar II Disorder, NOS (not otherwise specified). • If included: lifetime prevalence of Bipolar DO - 5% to 8 % of the general population 8 History of Mood Disorders • Kraepelin (1890s): – “manic-depressive insanity” – Included DSM-IV subtypes, mixed and rapid cycling states, many of the soft bipolar variations and also episodic depressions • DSM-I (1960s): – proposed a differentiation between major depression and manic-depressive illness • Later DSMs: – unipolar - bipolar dichotomy • Fieve and Dunner (1970s): – discriminated bipolar I from bipolar II disorder – a seminal event in the evolution of the soft bipolar spectrum 11 Further Evolution • KLERMAN'S BIPOLAR SUBTYPES (1981) – – – – Bipolar I: Mania and depression Bipolar II: Hypomania and depression Bipolar III: Cyclothymic disorder Bipolar IV: Hypomania or mania precipitated by antidepressant drugs – Bipolar V: Depressed patients with a family history of bipolar illness – Bipolar VI: Mania without depression [unipolar mania] Psychiatric Annals #17: January 1987 12 Current Thinking • Hagop Akiskal: nosologic pendulum is swinging back towards Kraepelinian original unitary concept of the bipolar spectrum of mood disorders • He added four more subtypes: according to some unique clinical features. 13 AKISKAL'S SCHEMA OF BIPOLAR SUBTYPES • • • • • • Bipolar I: full-blown mania Bipolar I ½: depression with protracted hypomania Bipolar II: depression with hypomanic episodes Bipolar II ½: cyclothymic disorder Bipolar III: hypomania due to antidepressant drugs Bipolar III ½: hypomania and/or depression associated with substance use • Bipolar IV: depression associated with hyperthymic temperament 14 Akiskal & Pinto (1999) Psychiatric Clinics of North America 22:3, 517-534 AKISKAL'S SCHEMA OF BIPOLAR SUBTYPES • • • • • • Bipolar I: full-blown mania Bipolar I ½: depression with protracted hypomania Bipolar II: depression with hypomanic episodes Bipolar II ½: cyclothymic disorder Bipolar III: hypomania due to antidepressant drugs Bipolar III ½: hypomania and/or depression associated with substance use • Bipolar IV: depression associated with hyperthymic temperament • Proposed subtypes V and VI have not yet been characterized: – presumably will involve: • episodic anxiety disorders • seasonal mood states • mood disorders co morbid with various anxiety disorders of an episodic nature. 15 Akiskal & Pinto (1999) Psychiatric Clinics of North America 22:3, 517-534 Complicated….? That’s not all…….. 16 Lieber’s “soft” Bipolar Spectrum Disorders • Episodic Mood Instability • Episodic Atypical Depression • Episodic Dysphoric Hypomania 17 1. Episodic mood instability • Lifelong episodes of mood swings starting around adolescence. • The mood shifts unpredictably among several distinct mood poles: – – – – – – brief depressions lasting hours to one or two days brief euphoria brief dysphoric or irritable episodes brief paranoid episodes brief episodes of rage or intense uncontrollable anger brief episodic anxiety equivalents (panic attacks, phobias or obsessive ruminations). • This multiplicity of mood options: multipolar mood disorder might be a more accurate designation for it. 18 2. Episodic atypical depression (EAD) • shows atypical depressive features: – eating too much, sleeping too much, feeling worse towards evening and intense tiredness or lethargy. • mood responsive: – Temporary response to favourable circumstances (hours to a day or two) before returning to the depressed state. • co-existing anxiety and its subtypes (phobias, panic attacks, OCD ) 19 Subtypes of Episodic Atypical Depression • (distinguished by special features): – seasonal affective disorder • winter-onset atypical depressions – premenstrual dysphoric disorder • a/w irritability, mood swings and dysphoria (irritability) • a week to ten days on either side of the menstrual period – hysteroid dysphoria • mainly in women with histrionic personality features • episodes precipitated by romantic rejection – abulic depression • a/w a deficit syndrome (apathy, amotivation, lack of will power, lack of energy, lack of pleasure in life, emotional blunting ) 20 3. Episodic Dysphoric Hypomania NB: Hypomania: • Two types: euphoric and dysphoric (irritable) • Two durations: episodic and protracted • Episodic dysphoric hypomania: – Irritability, emotional discomfiture, impulsiveness, temper dyscontrol and impaired judgment – Interfere with interpersonal relationships and to limit productivity at work – Sense of inner speeding combined with restless over activity and racing thoughts, which can lead to a state of desperation. – Episodes of depression and mood instability almost always present + sometimes brief euphoric episodes. – Triad: irritable episodes alternating with rage episodes and paranoid episodes is characteristic of dysphoric hypomania. 21 A Proposed Definition of Bipolar Spectrum Disorder A. At least 1 major depressive episode B. No spontaneous hypomanic or manic episodes C. Either: • • 1 of the following plus at least 2 of D; or 2 of the following, plus 1 item from D: • • Family history of bipolar disorder in 1st degree relatives Antidepressant induced mania or hypomania Ghaemi SN et al (2002) Can J Psychiatry. 47(2):125-134 23 A Proposed Definition of Bipolar Spectrum Disorder D. If no items from C are present, 6 / 9 of below are needed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Hyperthymic personality (at baseline, non-depressive state) Recurrent major depressive episodes (>3) Brief major depressive episodes (ave <3 months) Atypical depressive symptoms Psychotic major depressive episodes Early age of onset of major depressive episodes (<age 25) Postpartum depression Antidepressant “wear-off” (acute, but not prophylactic response) Lack of response to ≥ 3 antidepressants trial Ghaemi SN et al (2002) Can J Psychiatry. 47(2):125-134 24 COMORBIDITY • A high percentage of bipolar mood disorders, perhaps more than 50%, are comorbid with other medical and/or psychiatric conditions. 25 Thyroid disorders • Hyperthyroidism: resembles hypomania/ mania and it can worsen pre-existing mania/ hypomania • Hypothyroidism: resembles clinical depression and it can cause pre-existing depression to be unresponsive to antidepressant medications • Treatment with lithium can produce hypothyroidism • Subtle or subclinical hypothyroidism is often associated with the development of mixed and rapid cycling bipolar disorders. 26 Substance misuse • Psychoactive effects on the brain and can worsen the bipolar condition • Interfere with effective treatment • Can mimic both depression and hypomanic states • Unmask a pre- existing depression or bipolar disorder • Can be secondary to self-medication of bipolar disorder 27 ADHD • ADHD is now known to often persist into adulthood and symptoms may overlap with bipolar spectrum disorder • Overlapping symptoms: – – – – – – Restlessness Motor hyperactivity Easy distractibility Impulsiveness Inability to concentrate or focus attention Temper dyscontrol • Differentiation: ADHD continuous vs bipolar conditions episodic • Incidence of their co morbidity is unknown. • Stimulants (eg Ritalin), tend to worsen the symptoms of bipolar spectrum disorder 28 Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) • Stormy and unstable lifestyle, overly dramatic, intense but unstable relationships, and exhibit self-defeating and often self-destructive behaviours • Recent years: a high percentage of these patients have co morbid bipolar spectrum disorders. • 75 % of these patients will respond to combination pharmacotherapy using SSRI, a mood stabilizer and an atypical antipsychotic (e.g. olanzapine). • Once the mood has become stable, they can then benefit from competent psychotherapy to deal with their emotional backwash. • Better prognosis with this treatment approach? 29 * *Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) Bipolar Spectrum Disorder Scale (BSDS) 30 Hirschfield RM (2002) J Clin Psych. 4: 9-11 31 31 Bipolar Spectrum Disorder Scale (Ghaemi & Pies 2003) • Read the following paragraph all the way through first, then follow the instructions which appear below it. • Some individuals noticed that their mood and/or energy levels shift drastically from time to time ______ .

Patient has returned to baseline functioning 2. Patient is at a risk for relapse • Family Involvement – – To pick up early warning signs of patient relapsing To assess the family’s expectations 37 World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) 2003 Guidelines • Acute bipolar mania, mild to moderate • Acute bipolar mania, severe • Bipolar depression 38 Efficacy of Olanzapine in Combination with Lithium or Valproate % Probability of Remaining in Remission 100 OLZ plus Li or VPA, (n=30) Li or VPA, (n=38) 80 60 40 20 p=.023 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 Time to Recurrence Into Mania or Depression (Days) Time to recurrence into either pole following symptomatic remission of mania (YMRS 12) and depression (HAMD-21 8), was significantly longer for the olanzapine cotherapy group compared to the monotherapy group (estimated 25th percentile 124 vs 15 days, respectively). Tohen M, et al. Presented at: 155th APA Annual Meeting; May 18-23, 2002; Philadelphia, Pa. 43 Treatment Strategies for Bipolar Spectrum Disorder Lieber (2003)? • Present with predominantly anxiety or depression symptoms: – Start initially on an SSRI (e.g. Fluoxetine) – If symptoms of hypomania occur during the course of treatment, add a mood stabilizer (e.g. Sodium Valproate) – If the patient fails to respond to the SSRI within four weeks or is unable to tolerate it due to side effects, I will switch to a dual neurotransmitter antidepressant (Effexor, Welbutrin, Remeron, Serzone). – Once the patient is mood stable and without symptoms, monitor at one to three-month intervals. Advise to continue the same dose to prevent recurrence 44 Treatment Strategies for Bipolar Spectrum Disorder Lieber (2003)? • Present with either euphoric or dysphoric hypomania/ uncontrollable rage/violent outbursts: – Start on a mood stabilizer. – If necessary, an antidepressant drug can be added later after the mood has been stabilized. • Patients with mixed or rapid cycling states: – Usually respond to combination therapy with mood stabilizers and antidepressants. 45 Unanswered Questions • Does bipolar spectrum disorder routinely require mood stabilisers? • How safe are antidepressants in bipolar spectrum? • What is the optimal duration of treatment? 46 Conclusion • Bipolar Spectrum Disorders are only recently recognized • May explain difficulties in treating mood disorder patients • Treatment strategies need to be optimized depending on presenting problems and may need to be revised from time to time 47 Thank You 48
