I have BP disorder. For me, opioids definitely do alleviate depression. But they've received such bad press because of their abuse potential, that getting them studied and approved for our use is sure to be a long way off. It may never happen, unless drug companies can find a way to eliminate the risky side effects, that is, habituation, or, worse, the dreaded euphoria.
