Will ssri's (antidepressants) consistently trigger mania in a borderline patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There might be : Some confusion. Antidepressants don't normally trigger mania or hypomania in individuals with a borderline personality disorder. Antidepressants can sometimes trigger mania or hypomania in an individual with bipolar disorder.
