First of all I like to inform you that bipolar disorder can be treated effectively but no cure (elimination) exists on the current day. Most patients with bipolar disorder need long term treatment as there is ongoing disease process which needs control with use of effective medications.
For the bipolar depression following options are available on the current day 1. Seroquel 2. Latuda 3. Lamotrigine and 4. Olanzapine and fluoxetine combination
It is important to visit your psychiatrist to discuss the merits and demerits of each recommended medication. In case you are having bipolar 2 depression seroquel is the only option while for bipolar 1 depression any of them can be used for effective control of disease.
I must assure you that with right medication there is good chance that you will recover to your true potential.
I hope this helps you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. Thanks again.
