Mania and Antimanic Drugs: Overview01:24

Mania and Antimanic Drugs: Overview

735
Mania, a psychological condition characterized by elevated mood, increased energy, and reduced sleep need, is part of the bipolar disorder cycle. The exact cause of mania isn't entirely known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Bipolar disorder involves alternating manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers like lithium, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants help manage these episodes. Lithium carbonate is particularly effective as...

Bipolar Disorder

1.3K
Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition marked by significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of mania and depression. Elevated energy levels, heightened mood or irritability, impulsive behavior, reduced sleep needs, rapid speech, racing thoughts, inflated self-esteem, and distractibility characterize mania. Individuals with bipolar disorder often alternate between depressive and manic states, with periods of emotional stability lasting an average of six months to a year.

Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview

1.1K
The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

651
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents

1.1K
Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

[Mania induced by antibiotic therapy].

    Summary

    Antibiotic clarithromycin can rarely cause mania in adults. Discontinuing the drug and providing psychiatric care can lead to favorable outcomes for drug-induced mania.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Pharmacology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Antibiotics like clarithromycin are widely prescribed.
    • Mania is a psychiatric condition often associated with bipolar disorder.
    • However, mania can also arise from pharmacological, metabolic, or neurological causes, especially in individuals without prior psychiatric history.

    Observation:

    • Two adult cases of new-onset mania after clarithromycin use are reported.
    • This highlights a rare but significant psychiatric complication of clarithromycin.
    • The patients had no personal or family history of psychiatric illness.

    Findings:

    • New-onset mania necessitates thorough clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and neuro-imaging to exclude other causes.
    • Medication history, including current antibiotic use, is crucial in the differential diagnosis of mania.

  • Discontinuation of the offending antibiotic is the primary treatment step.

    • Implications:

    • Pharmacologically induced mania requires treatment similar to bipolar mania, involving anti-manic/antipsychotic medication and supportive care.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the etiological factor typically resolve drug-induced mania.
    • While prophylactic mood stabilizers are usually not required, psychiatric follow-up is recommended for a favorable prognosis.
