Abstract: Summary Objective Depressive episodes in bipolar I and II disorders are an important source of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this review is to critically evaluate literature findings on the treatment of depressive episodes in patients with bipolar I and II disorders with atypical antipsychotics. Methods Here we report a critical review of studies providing evidence for the treatment of bipolar I or II depressive episodes with atypical antipsychotic. Atypical antipsychotics are currently used for the acute treatment of manic episodes, and also for the prophylaxis of relapses and recurrences. More recently, some evidence seems to support the theory that atypical antipsychotics could be used also for the treatment of depressive episodes, in patients with bipolar disorder. This critical review is mainly focused on treatment with Quetiapine. Results
