Other AD's-tricyclics, are older, usually more sedating and more dangerous in overdose so would be unfavourable to someone with suicidal tendencies or someone whose depression makes them feel tired and lethargic.
MAOI's are used as little as possible these days due to the fact theyre require the person to have diet requirements and the benefits dont justify it when there are safer drugs available.
Generally Tegretol, which is primarily an anti-epileptic, is prescribed as a mood stabiliser to someone with bi-polar as an alternative to Lithium.(which can be prescibed with an SSRI in recurrent depression)
