Bipolar Disorder Medication:
Lithium and Abilify
Assume your 28-year-old male
patient has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. His family physician has
prescribed lithium or Abilify. Use your text readings and the article you
located in the studies activity and write a discussion post as follows:
•Explain what neurotransmission
may be causing the bipolar disorder.
•Describe how lithium or Abilify
can help this patient.
•Create a dialogue in which you,
the psychologist or counselor, explain to the patient what is happening to him
in terms he can understand.
