Put your knowledge and skills to the test with the case of a 20 year old female, who has had depression for a number of years, and now presents with worsening depressive symptoms, as well as anxiety and suicidal ideation and plans. The patient also describes a new onset of #manic symptoms that last for 3-5 days, and as such she's given a new diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with rapid cycling, most recent episode mixed.
It is also important to note that this young patient also has a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta, which has caused brittle and fragile bones and has led to 62 fractures and 16 surgeries.
How would you treat her mental health condition, while still protecting her bones?
