Abstract

The authors report on a 42-year-old female inpatient with bipolar I disorder, whose dysphoric mania responded rapidly and completely while her antimanic medication (lithium, carbamazepine, clozapine, haloperidol and clonazepam) was supplemented by 20 mg of paroxetine daily. The practical and theoretical importance of this case is briefly discussed.
