To the Editor:Based on the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists clinical practice guidelines for mood disorders,1 Malhi and colleagues have produced guideline summaries for major depression2 and bipolar disorder.3 The major depression summary is likely to be used as a stand-alone guideline by primary care physicians treating depression.2 Bipolar disorder often presents as recurrent depression.1,3 It is therefore worrying that the major depression summary omits discussion of bipolar disorder. Identifying bipolar disorder is important because the treatment is different from that required for other types of depression.2,3 The bipolar disorder summary looks to the early detection of mania, as bipolar depression cannot be reliably distinguished from major depression.3 However, there are clues to a bipolar diagnosis during the preceding depressions. Bipolar disorder might be suspected in a pervasive depressive episode which does not make sense psychologically.4,5 A family history may also be suggestive.1 Bipolar disorder should be fully integrated into the management of major depression. After diagnosing major depression, ask routinely: “Could this be an episode of bipolar disorder?”. While the question cannot be answered definitively, it most definitely warrants the asking. Suspecting bipolar disorder can provide the patient and family with some explanation and can involve them in decisions about treatment. Suspecting bipolar disorder earlier could lead to a better outcome. It may allow earlier bipolar treatment and avoid exacerbating the condition with antidepressant or psychotherapy monotherapy. At least, we could warn patients of the risk of inducing mania or cycling with antidepressants.1,3 Omitting bipolar disorder from the guidelines for major depression means that such a warning may not be considered. The major depression summary2 recommends lithium, atypical antipsychotics and electroconvulsive therapy for treatment-resistant depression. Some psychiatrists believe that these are only effective in treating melancholic depression. For the more common treatment-resistant non-melancholic depression, stronger psychotherapies such as dialectical behaviour therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy may be more efficacious than stronger biological therapies. A final thought:Depression’s a broad diagnosis and mostly a kind of neurosis. But try to enable the bipolar label and really improve the prognosis.

To the Editor: Reading the article on the task of selecting candidates for medical school,1 I recalled my own trajectory into the profession. I was interviewed by a surgeon, who was the sole interviewer, our interaction being one of genteel conversation. My peers at the time had a similar interchange with the university officials. Uniformly, we have all proceeded to remain in medicine. Our careers have lasted. One has to wonder whether a selection process that is more time consuming is actually better than the above straightforward approach. Considering personality type, there will be a wide spread of introverts and extroverts. Academically adept and generally bright, the hopefuls can perform on the day to leap over any clever tests for entrance. Moreover, the profession has niches for all of them. The introvert can quietly tend towards microbiology, while the extrovert might heartily choose to be a surgeon. Like politics, the profession needs representatives from different areas of society. We should not aim to standardise too much. There will be nations today where entry into medicine is still standardised with reference to social status. If we recruit only the well-to-do youngsters, we will not have the level of understanding that can be brought into the profession from those of humbler backgrounds. Someone from a lower economic stratum will understand the community to which they wish to return after qualifying as a doctor. I have first-hand experience of observing such a course of career in my peers. It cannot be forgotten that the aspirants keen to join medicine are very young people whose personalities have yet to ripen through living. If they can pass tough exams, then they have an admirable trait as embryonic personalities. They can focus and work with diligence. They also hold an ambition to become doctors. If they can apply themselves and do not have any overt oddities of personality, they should be given a chance to become doctors. This has been a time-tested method in medical schools — in a world that needs more doctors than ever — and I fail to be convinced that finer filters on the path into medicine will be worthwhile.
