Mania

Mania is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by persistent elevated mood, increased energy, and impaired judgment. Individuals experiencing mania may exhibit racing thoughts, heightened irritability, and aggressive behavior. Mania is often seen as a symptom of bipolar disorder or other mood disorders, and if left untreated, can lead to serious consequences in an individual’s life.
Medications commonly prescribed to treat mania include:

Mood Stabilizers: These medications help stabilize mood swings and prevent mood episodes, such as mania and depression. Examples include lithium, valproic acid, and lamotrigine.
Antipsychotic Medications: These drugs are effective in managing the acute symptoms of mania, such as excessive energy and agitation. Examples include olanzapine, risperidone, and quetiapine.

Consult with a healthcare professional before starting or changing any medication regimen to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
