Hi,
Certain drugs that are used for seizures may be of benefit for mood disorders too. I think drugs such valproate, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, may be tried alone or in combination with one mood stabilizer such lithium for example. My opinion is that fewer drugs is better. Discuss with a Neurologist about these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
