Beyond Standard Treatment: Exploring Pramipexole in Bipolar Depression

In this episode, we explore pramipexole—a Parkinson's medication—as a promising add-on treatment for treatment-resistant bipolar depression. Could a dopamine agonist be the unexpected solution when standard mood stabilizers and antipsychotics fail? We examine the PAX-BD trial's findings, safety concerns, and practical clinical applications.
