New treatments for bipolar disorder

Richard Porter, Claire D. Peebles

Abstract

Effective treatment of bipolar disorder involves prophylaxis and treatment of both mania/hypomania and depression. Lithium is an effective treatment of all phases of bipolar disorder. Certain clinical presentations appear to respond better to valproate. Newer anticonvulsants (eg lamotrigine) have an emerging role in bipolar disorder. Atypical antipsychotics may be useful in the treatment of mania. (author abstract)
