If Penicillin seem to cure depression in patient diagnosed with bipolar disorder, what are the implications? if it was something you had to take on a day to day basis more people would be come resistant to it as an antibiotic and that would not be a good thing. if it was a full cure (take it once and your cured) then no one really would have bipolar as most people in there lives take penicillin. Studies have shown that, in cases of non clinical depression, where there is no specific physiological cause, such as thyroid disorder, antidepressants are little more effective than a placebo (sugar pill). Therapy alone is as beneficial as medication alone. For other conditions, medication may be necessary, however; e.g., schizophrenia. Penicillin is an antibiotic, it is used to clear up bacterial infections. I have never heard of it being used for depression. I do not see how an antibiotic can relieve the symptoms of depression. The only implication I can imagine would be that the bipolar symptoms were caused by an infection which seemed to get better once the infection was cleared. However, if the bipolar disorder was present before the infection, or has returned even without the existance of the infection, that theory would be moot. The antibiotic would not have been responsible for the bipolar disorder clearing, rather the arrest of the infection which altered brain chemicals would have been. |
