Abstract

Treatment guidelines for mixed states of depression or (hypo)mania focus almost exclusively on psychopharmacologic intervention without tapping into the benefits of psychotherapy. The authors highlight the complex clinical picture and illness course of mixed states, and discuss the benefit of taking a patient-centered approach to treatment incorporating techniques from a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies. A careful assessment of suicide risk as well as interventions designed specifically for anxiety are also recommended.
