Highlights

Psychiatrists rate improved efficacy of treatments for bipolar depression as the greatest unmet need. This indication has only three FDA approved treatments and sorely needs new effective treatment options.

Effective treatments are required for maintenance therapy. Achieving full recovery and avoiding relapse of symptoms is a key challenge and current lines of therapy are failing to address this need.

Prescribers' decisions are predominantly influenced by the efficacy of treatments, followed by the side-effect profiles of therapy. New treatments with superior efficacy and tolerability will be positively welcomed by psychiatrists as these influences are also inline with the unmet needs identified by psychiatrists.
