Managing Mixed Bipolar Episodes

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Guest: Robert M. Post, MD Mixed bipolar episodes as defined by the DSM-IV are relatively rare. But for those of us in clinical practice, this definition may be too conservative to be of use. What is a mixed bipolar episode and how do we best treat these patients? Host Dr. Leslie Lundt welcomes Dr. Robert Post, professor of psychiatry at George Washington University School of Medicine and Penn State College of Medicine, to discuss the management of mixed episodes.
