Bipolar disorder is a lifelong disease, which can be managed with proper medication. The medications used to manage bipolar disorder symptoms include mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. Mood stabilizers such as lithium and other drugs are used for the treatment of bipolar disorders by suppressing mood swings such as mania and depression. Cariprazine is an atypical antipsychotic drug indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults. Antidepressant medications are also prescribed to treat depressive episodes in bipolar disorder. Antidepressants combined with mood stabilizers are indicated to prevent the triggering of maniac episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. There is a sudden change in the mood of the patient and his/her ability to carry out daily tasks. There are four types of bipolar disorders: bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic, and other specified and non-specified bipolar and related disorders. People suffering from bipolar disorder experience periods of unusually intense emotion, irregular sleep patterns, and activity levels, and mood episodes. Bipolar disorder is diagnosed based on the patient’s symptoms, family history, and life history. The healthcare provider generally conducts a mental health evaluation for the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
