Anxiety Disorders

Every person periodically experiences fear and anxiety. Fear is an emotional, somatic and behavioral response to a directly recognizable external threat (for example, an attack or the risk of a car accident).

Bipolar disorder: treatment

Treatment of bipolar affective disorder is carried out mainly by normotimic means ("affect stabilizers"), such as lithium preparations, carbamazepine or valproic acid. But sometimes they resort to relatively new drugs: olanzapine, risperidone, lamotrigine, gabapentin, calcium antagonists.

Bipolar affective disorder

Bipolar affective disorder is a mood disorder in which episodes of depression and mania or hypomania can occur. Previously, this disease was designated by the term "manic depression" (or manic-depressive psychosis), reflecting its phenomenology. From a major depression, also called unipolar depression, bipolar disorder is characterized by episodes of inadequately elevated mood.
