Bipolar disorder often begins in adolescence or early adulthood, characterized by recurrent manic episodes that can lead to neurodegenerative brain changes and functional decline. While several oral second-generation antipsychotics are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for mania, adherence to maintenance treatment is frequently poor due to factors such as anosognosia, cognitive dysfunction, impulsivity, side effects aversion, and substance use. Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics, approved for adults with bipolar mania or schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), offer a potential solution for adolescents with similar conditions.

Ketamine has emerged as a powerful antidepressant; however, there have been few trials of ketamine in bipolar depression and no trials with esketamine in bipolar depression, and few data exist from real-world settings. Here, we report outcomes from a cohort of patients with bipolar depression treated with ketamine/ esketamine in a real-world setting.

Introduction: Patients with bipolar I disorder may experience mood destabilization or treatment-emergent affective switch (TEAS) from one symptom pole to the other spontaneously or following treatment. Optimal treatment should address symptoms from both poles without precipitating destabilization.
Methods: These were pooled post hoc analyses of data from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of cariprazine 3-12 mg/d for bipolar I mania (NCT00488618, NCT01058096, NCT01058668) and cariprazine 1.
