| Description | Recently, an increased attention is paid to the bipolar disorderm which represents a serious affective disorder. Simultaneously, more detailed diagnosis is connected with a broader spectrum of treatment possibilities. The author deals in detail with diagnosis and treatment of hypomania ad bipolar depression. Nowadays, it is not sufficient to differentiate between unipolar and bipolar disorders, but it is necessary to differentiate between bipolar I and bipolar II, because there are differences in clinic, dynamic and treatment reactivity. None of moood stabilizers has the same efficacy in mania and depression. For that reason, the mood stabilisation is achieved using combinations of stabilizers with antidepressants and antipsychotics or mutual combination of stabilizers. The integral part of complex treatment of biplar disorder is the psychoeducation, aimed at the adherence to the treatment and relaps prevention, or broader psychosocial intervention. |
