Research Notes on Bipolar Treatments

The types of medicine used may include mood stabilizers, antidepressants, anti-seizure, antipsychotic, and anti-anxiety medications. Continuing treatment during times of remission of symptoms may help reduce the risk of relapse of full blown bouts of mania or depression.1 See what Psychiatrists say about the use of talk therapy as an alternative to taking medications for the treatment of bipolar disorder.
