You *can* take antidepressants for depression caused by bipolar disorder or
schizophrenia, but you have to be careful to take other medications to
prevent the AD's from driving you into manic states. For example, a bipolar
person might take Depakote and Celexa, to treat mania and depression, while
taking Celexa alone will probably drive him manic.
