What are the best meds for the treatment of bipolar type 2?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No one medicine: While there is some evidence that Depakote works better than lithium for bipolar 2 disorder, there is no clear evidence that one medication works best for that form of bipolar disorder. It really depends on the symptom cluster you are treating (in other words a depression or a mania/hypomania).
