Key Supplements
- Omega-3 (EPA dominant) 2-4g/day (proven effective for bipolar depression, may prevent mania)
- NAC 2000mg 2x/day (reduces depression, improves function in bipolar—large trials)
- Inositol 12-18g/day (may improve depression, mood stabilization—some evidence)
- Folate (L-methylfolate if MTHFR mutation) 15mg/day (improves depression, especially with lithium)
- Magnesium 400-600mg (calming, supports mood stabilizers, many deficient on lithium)
- Vitamin D3 5000-10000 IU (mood regulation, anti-inflammatory)
Key Lab Markers
- Clinical diagnosis (DSM-5 criteria, mood charting), Lithium level (if on lithium—therapeutic 0.6-1.2 mEq/L, monitor regularly), Thyroid function (TSH, Free T4—lithium affects thyroid, hypothyroidism worsens depression), Kidney function (lithium affects kidneys—BUN, creatinine, urinalysis), Comprehensive metabolic panel, CBC, Vitamin D, Folate (especially if on mood stabilizers—anticonvulsants deplete folate), B12, Magnesium, Omega-3 Index, hs-CRP (inflammation), Fasting glucose and lipids (atypical antipsychotics cause metabolic syndrome—monitor), Substance abuse screening (common in bipolar—worsens outcomes), Sleep study (if sleep apnea suspected—disrupts mood), Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics—some metabolize medications differently)
