[Triple Chronotherapy for Bipolar Depression: A Case Report].

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic disease with recurrent episodes of mania and depression. There is urgent need for rapid, effective, and safe treatments for bipolar depression which is difficult to treat using the current standard METHODS. Triple chronotherapy is a combination of sleep deprivation, sleep phase shift, and bright light therapy which has been shown to induce accelerated and sustained remissions in bipolar depression. In this report, we present a case of bipolar depression undergoing triple chronotherapy in addition to the standard treatment and discuss the importance of getting fast and sustained response in these cases.
