Journal Club #3: Bipolar Depression Guidelines: CANMAT & ISBD Versus Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project
Today we posted the following third journal club in PEFA Journal Club’s discussion series:
Journal Club #3:
The Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Program: An Update on Bipolar Depression.
Article: Harv Rev Psychiatry. 2010 Jan-Feb;18(1):36-55. PubMed PMID: 20047460
This journal club will compare the following two guidelines for bipolar depression management:
- Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) and International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) 2018 guidelines.
- Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Program: An Update on Bipolar Depression (2019)
These guidelines will be compared in terms of First, Second, and Third-line treatment. This journal club will answer the following 10 clinically relevant questions:
- Which medications are not recommended treatment for bipolar depression?
- Which Non-FDA approved medication is the first-line treatment per both guidelines?
- Which FDA approved treatment is not recommended by Harvard South Shore program update?
- “Adjunctive” use of which medication is considered first-line treatment per CANMAT & ISBD guidelines?
- Which one medication moved from second-line treatment (in CANMAT & ISBD) to first-line treatment (in Harvard South Shore program update)?
- “Monotherapy” with which medication is considered third-line treatment per CANMAT & ISBD guideline?
- Which medication(s) was recommended by CANMAT but NOT recommended by Harvard South Shore program update due to safety concerns?
- Which antidepressant is preferred as an adjunctive treatment, over other antidepressants?
- Does aripiprazole have efficacy as monotherapy or as an adjunct or no efficacy for bipolar depression?
- Which non-medication option was recommended by both guidelines?
