The discovery of lithium in 1946 led to a revolution in the management of bipolar disorder as well as other psychiatric conditions. Since that time and especially in the past 20 years, treatment options for bipolar disorder have progressively advanced such that a modern practitioner has a number of evidence-based options to manage the illness. However, the evidence is strongest in adults for acute mania and weakens in other mood states and in youth. Nonetheless, based on the available evidence, this chapter provides recommendations for first-, second-, and third-line pharmacological treatments for bipolar illness to guide clinicians. Additionally, specific considerations for the various medications are reviewed. Suggestions are provided for both adults and youth.

Treatment-resistant bipolar disorder is a challenging area in clinical psychiatry and both defining treatment resistance and managing it is difficult despite new emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. This chapter revisits the definition in treatment resistance in bipolar and summarizes the general recommendations in treatment-resistant bipolar disorder by taking revision of the guidelines to ‘pole position’. Manic and depressive episodes are covered in different subtitles. A short description of the complementary and alternative treatments is also mentioned. Special conditions in treatment resistance including co-morbidities, mixed states, and substance abuse are discussed separately. Future directions are also addressed by both evidence-based and naturalistic findings. Final recommendations for mania and depression are discussed after each subtitle and illustrated with a figure to give readers a visual summary.
