Hi Linkage,

The answer depends on who you ask. For me, Depakote worsened my depression (and caused hair loss, rashes on my body, and a 30 pound weight gain). Lithium does not help my depression, but it does not make it worse. YMMV.
As a side note, I'm in the sixth week of an Enada NADH trial for treatment of my BPII atypical depression. So far the results are remarkable. However, time will tell regarding its long-term efficacy.
