I was taught that manic psychosis produced by antidepressants is a phenomenon that occurs only when there is a bipolar component to one's affective disorder. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes an antidepressant to uncover bipolarity, so you don't always know in advance what the risk of psychosis is. Interestingly, MAOIs (especially Parnate) have been used in the past to treat psychotic depression *.
