Abstract
Mixed depression (MDE plus 3 or more hypomanic symptoms) was common in BP-II and MDD. A dimensional definition based on 3 or more hypomanic symptoms during depression was the most supported by using bipolar family history as validator. The study of mixed depression may be important for its possible impact on treatment (antidepressants could increase hypomanic symptoms, and mood stabilizers and antipsychotics could control hypomanic symptoms during antidepressant treatment).
