Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic
Bipolar disorder is a common mood disorder. It is characterized by episodes of mania and depression. A lot of medicines are used in BPAD with good results. Commonly mood stabilizers are used like Sodium valproate, lithium carbonate or carbamazepine etc. These drugs control the manic excitement and help to stabilize the mood. They reduce anger outbursts and risk taking behavior. Apart from that low dose benzodiazepines help to control the sleep. Visit a psychiatrist for expert opinion.
Thanks
