What Could Cause Psychotic Problems After Undergoing Nasal Operation Fess?

My son has suffered from psychosis after nasal operation called fess 2 years back. Since then he has been behaving erratically and we contacted a psychiatrist then. After taking gradually reduced doses of medicine such Licab Xl, depakote, ativan etc he was looking alright then. But after completely stopping medicines he is showing signs of anger, depression etc and occasionally we are consulting the same psychiatrist. recently he is under medicine Lithosun Sr 1 at night, Dicorate 250 1 each in morning and night and ativan 2mg 1 at night. What could be his actual problem. Will he be alright in future? He is studying Electronics engineering at present. is he capable of studying such professional qualification

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he has bipolar disorder and in that case, he needs mood stabilizer like lithium or valproate for long period. With medications, he would be alright and stays symptom free, but if he does not take medications, in that case, these symptoms would come again, so better to give drugs for longer period. In case, you need any help, you can ask.

Thanks
