8. TREATMENT
Before beginning treatment for mania, careful
differential diagnosis must be performed to rule out
secondary causes.
The acute treatment of a manic episode of bipolar
disorder involves the utilization of either a mood
stabilizer (valproate, lithium, or carbamazepine) or
an atypical antipsychotic (olanzapine, quetiapine,
risperidone, or aripiprazole).

• Although hypomanic episodes may respond to
a mood stabilizer alone, full-blown episodes

these tend to produce the most rapid
improvement)
