  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Psychotic symptoms are common in bipolar disorder manic phases but frequently misdiagnosed.

  • The precise role of antipsychotic medications in treating psychotic mania is not well-defined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on psychosis in mania.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of antipsychotic agents in acute and maintenance treatment of psychotic mania.
  • To clarify the therapeutic role of antipsychotics for this condition.

Main Methods:
