Mood-Stabilizing Agents

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Mood-stabilizing treatments include a variety of types of medicinal agents with important applications in the treatment of bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder patients. Recent estimates indicate that the prevalence of these illnesses exceeds that of the psychotic disorders, with lifetime estimates ranging from approximately 1% for type I bipolar disorder (with mania) to several percent if all forms of bipolar disorder (including type II with hypomania and mainly recurrent depression).
