Use of asenapine in a case of treatment‐resistant bipolar disorder

Abstract Effective management of acute bipolar mania can be challenging, particularly in patients with comorbid substance use. Here, the authors describe the case of an acutely manic 37‐year‐old man with treatment‐resistant bipolar affective disorder and comorbid cannabis dependency, who responded well to treatment with asenapine, enabling him to be discharged back to the community psychiatric team.
