Antidedpressants: such as mirtazapine and pristique may induce a manic switch which may resemble bipolar disorder or even indicate emerging bipolar disorder. Your psychiatrist knows your clinical history and can discuss plan with treatment alternatives that are right for you. Lifestyle measures (nutrition, sleep, exercise) are important. Therapy may help with self-regulation, coping. Best regards for good health.
