Abstract
Major depression often presents in patients with a history of both depression and mania, although patients may not have the insight to report manic symptoms as problematic. Distinguishing pure (unipolar) depression from bipolar depression is important for prognostic and treatment reasons. Once identified, bipolar depression can be adequately and safely treated.
