Do i need an anti-depressent with my antipsychotic?
Hi. I am 24 and live in Glasgow,Scotland.I have been hospitalised twice over the last few years with depression.I see my psychiatrist yesterday. I had been experiencing a high and elated mood for about a month before i went to see her. I wrote down how i had been feeling and took it with me to my appointment.She said it sounded alot like a manic episode.She put me on 2mg of Risperidone for the mania.She said i might have Bipolar Disorder but she isn't sure yet. I have to see her again in a months time.If Risperidone treats mania and i infact have Bipolar Disorder will i need an antidepressent as well? Thanks
