Bipolar disorder is often not recognized as an illness, and people may suffer for years before it is properly diagnosed and treated. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that must be carefully managed throughout a person's life. Pharmacotherapy is central to the acute treatment and long-term management of the disorder and as there are several classes of drugs, which are often prescribed concurrently, treatment issues are complex. This title examines major pharmacological treatments in the different phases of bipolar disorder. Chapters are devoted to commonly use pharmacological treatments with a critical review of the existing literature. Each chapter includes information not only on studies that have been published but also on new treatments that have been reported in peer reviewed scientific meetings.

A higher percentage of acute psychiatric hospital admissions is now being assigned to the category of mania, and the recognition of clinically attenuated outpatient forms of the illness (soft bipolar spectrum) is increasing. The latter (bipolar II and be ... read full excerpt from Bipolar Psychopharmacotherapy: Caring for the Patient ebook
