In this regard, a point arose that divalproex treats mania but not depression in the condition singularly labeled as bipolar disorder. So, pitting the 2 classes against one another may not be appropriate unless one can argue that both classes treat the same problem. To a neurologist, the question is: What is the actual defect? |
