What medications are used for bipolar disorder?

Common medications prescribed for bipolar disorder include:

1. Mood stabilisers (e.g., lithium, sodium valproate).
2. Antipsychotics (e.g., quetiapine, olanzapine).
3. Antidepressants (sometimes used alongside mood stabilisers).
4. Anti-anxiety medications (short-term use for specific cases).

The right medication depends on whether symptoms are manic, hypomanic, or depressive. Regular monitoring by a psychiatrist is essential, as adjustments may be needed over time.
