Bipolar disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder that is frequently associated with persistent symptoms and significant dysfunction. The symptoms of mania demand the most attention in bipolar disorder.
While there are numerous psychopharmacologic agents that are available for treatment of this illness, suboptimal response and significant adverse consequences limit their utility.1 New medications to treat bipolar disorder can offer clinicians more options and generally newer medications improve upon tolerability and side effect profile of previous antipsychotic agents. Evidence suggests that the symptoms of bipolar disorder are recurrent and can worsen over repeated relapses. The goal is to effective manage symptoms and prevent relapse.
In this CME Outfitters patient case and expert consult Q & A session, faculty will go in-depth with the case study answering your questions while offering evidence, guidelines, and quality measures for collaborative strategies to optimally care for patients with bipolar disorder.
