- 19:20who
- 19:20you
- 19:20prescribe
- 19:21it
- 19:21to.
- 19:21Some
- 19:21people
- 19:21can't
- 19:22tolerate
- 19:22it.
- 19:23It's
- 19:23not
- 19:23always
- 19:23clear
- 19:23why
- 19:24they
- 19:24can't.
- 19:24Just
- 19:24some
- 19:25people,
- 19:25some
- 19:25meds
- 19:25don't
- 19:26react

- 19:26in
- 19:27practice
- 19:27and
- 19:28some
- 19:29people
- 19:29swear
- 19:29by
- 19:30it.
- 19:30It's
- 19:30relatively
- 19:31low
- 19:31drama
- 19:32that
- 19:32of
- 19:32course
- 19:33you

- 19:36than
- 19:37something
- 19:37like
- 19:37Zyprexa
- 19:38or
- 19:38Seroquel.
- 19:40So
- 19:40that
- 19:40really
- 19:40helps.
- 19:41You
- 19:41know,
- 19:42I
- 19:42would

- 19:45and
- 19:45things
- 19:45of
- 19:45that
- 19:45nature,
- 19:46but
- 19:46again,
- 19:46it's
- 19:47less
- 19:47dramatic
- 19:48than
- 19:48that.
- 19:48And
- 19:49you

- 19:57Okay.
- 19:58It's

- 19:58five
- 19:59receptors
- 19:59or
- 19:59five
- 20:00nozzles
- 20:00that
- 20:00each
- 20:01aim
- 20:01at
- 20:01a
- 20:01different
- 20:01part
- 20:02of
- 20:02the
- 20:02brain.
- 20:03You
- 20:03know,
- 20:03it's
- 20:03calming
- 20:03dopamine
- 20:04in
- 20:04one
- 20:04corner
- 20:05where
- 20:05it's
- 20:05too
- 20:05high,
- 20:05it's
- 20:06boosting
- 20:06serotonin
- 20:07where
- 20:07it's

- 20:09even
- 20:09stabilizes
- 20:10glutamate
- 20:11in
- 20:11some
- 20:11areas.
- 20:12So
- 20:12it
- 20:12can
- 20:12be
- 20:12very,
- 20:13very
- 20:13helpful.
- 20:14And
- 20:14we
- 20:14have
- 20:14one
- 20:14lone
- 20:15RCT
- 20:16that
- 20:16was
- 20:16specifically
- 20:17looking
- 20:18at
- 20:18MDD
- 20:19with
- 20:19mixed
- 20:19features.
- 20:19I'm
- 20:20grateful
- 20:20for
- 20:20that
- 20:20RCT
- 20:21because
- 20:21it's
- 20:22just
- 20:22such
- 20:22a
- 20:22prevalent
- 20:23issue.
- 20:23I
- 20:24feel
- 20:24like
- 20:24we
- 20:24need
- 20:24so
- 20:25much
- 20:25more
- 20:25evidence
- 20:25about
- 20:26this.
- 20:26What
- 20:26works,
- 20:26what
- 20:27doesn't
- 20:27work.
- 20:28I
- 20:28know
- 20:28some
- 20:28people
- 20:28when
- 20:29they
- 20:29see
- 20:30depression
- 20:30and
- 20:30they
- 20:31need
- 20:31to
- 20:31treat
- 20:31depression,
- 20:31but
- 20:32there's
- 20:32a
- 20:32little
- 20:32agitation
- 20:33and
- 20:34mixed
- 20:34features
- 20:34in
- 20:34there.
- 20:35Some
- 20:35people
- 20:35will
- 20:35reach
- 20:36for
- 20:36Wellbutrin
- 20:37because
- 20:37it's
- 20:37less
- 20:38likely
- 20:38to
- 20:39precipitate
- 20:39mania.
- 20:40Eh,
- 20:40that's
- 20:41not
- 20:41a
- 20:41terrible
- 20:41idea.
- 20:42But
- 20:43I
- 20:43think
- 20:43it's
- 20:43sort
- 20:43of
- 20:43a
- 20:43half
- 20:44measure
- 20:44because
- 20:45you're
- 20:46kind
- 20:46of
- 20:46neglecting
- 20:47the
- 20:47mixed
- 20:47features
- 20:48part.
- 20:48You
- 20:49may
- 20:49be
- 20:49able
- 20:49to
- 20:49help
- 20:49a
- 20:50little
- 20:50bit
- 20:50with
- 20:50the
- 20:50underlying
- 20:51depression,
- 20:51but
- 20:52that
- 20:52agitated,
- 20:52impulsive,
- 20:54potentially
- 20:54self
- 20:55harmful
- 20:55piece
- 20:56is
- 20:56really
- 20:56not
- 20:57being
- 20:57addressed
- 20:57by
- 20:57just
- 20:58adding
- 20:58Wellbutrin.
- 20:58So
- 20:59I
- 20:59think
- 20:59it's
- 20:59an
- 20:59incomplete
- 21:00intervention.
- 21:01I
- 21:02definitely
- 21:02think
- 21:02Latuda
- 21:03is
- 21:03a
- 21:03little
- 21:03bit
- 21:04better
- 21:05in
- 21:05that
- 21:05regard.
- 21:06But
- 21:06you
- 21:06know,
- 21:07then
- 21:07we're
- 21:07kind
- 21:07of
- 21:07grasping
- 21:08at
- 21:08straws
- 21:08after
- 21:08that.
- 21:09Right?
- 21:09Because
- 21:09if
- 21:09a

- 21:13have
- 21:13for
- 21:13me
- 21:13next?
- 21:14Right,
- 21:14that's
- 21:14where
