🌟 FDA-Approved Medications for Bipolar Depression (Updated List) 🌟

Managing Bipolar Depression can be challenging — but treatment options continue to grow. As of now, there are five FDA-approved antipsychotic medications specifically proven to help treat bipolar depressive episodes:

🔹 Quetiapine (Seroquel) – Approved for monotherapy
🔹 Lurasidone (Latuda) – Works as monotherapy or adjunct with lithium/valproate
🔹 Olanzapine + Fluoxetine (Symbyax) – Combination medication
🔹 Cariprazine (Vraylar) – Approved for monotherapy
🔹 Lumateperone (Caplyta) – Approved for monotherapy and adjunct therapy

These medications can help reduce depressive symptoms, improve mood stability, support functioning, and enhance quality of life when used under proper psychiatric care.

✨ Bipolar Depression is treatable.
✨ The right treatment plan can make a real difference.

If you or someone you love is struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out for support.

May is a mental health awareness month!

Mental, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual (MEPS)

MEPS are our 4 systems.

•Our Mental system works in alignment with our reason and logic. If we don’t have clear reasons or purpose we will feel conflict within our mental system.

•Our Emotional system has everything to do with how we feel about anything and anyone. If we don’t address our feelings/ Emotions properly we will have conflict in this system.

•Our Physical system encompasses our physical health, ability and our physical surroundings. To avoid conflict in this area we must make sure that our physical systems are congruent with our goals or desired outcomes.

•Our Spiritual system is our about our connections. This is our connection to family, partners, friends, community, nature, God, self Etc. If we are feeling disconnected to the people and things that matter to us most we will experience conflict in this system.

Since all these systems are connected, If any of these systems is affected we will experience blocks when trying to make progress.
