HI, MY ELDER SISTER IS SUFFERING FROM MANIC DISORDER, SHE WAS GIVEN MEDICINE SUCH AS LITHOSUN SR & SIZODON PLUS WHICH WAS STOPPED 1.5 YEARS AGO & AFTER THAT SHE BECAME THE AS EARLIER. 3YEARS BACK SHE WAS ADMITTED IN GURGOAN IN DR.NIKHIL RAHEJAS NURSING HOME FOR 30 DAYS. I KNOW STOPPING HER MEDICINES WAS A BLUNDER ON OUR PART BUT SHE HAS BECOME VIOLENT & THINKS THAT SHE IS SUPERMAN . I AM PLANNING TO SEND HER TO A PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC FOR TREATMENT USING PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE AS SHE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE. KINDLY SUGGEST YOUR OPINION.
Hi. I understand your concern. Manic disorder is classified under bipolar disorder. It is episodic illness. Require proper treatment of 1st episode otherwise it has high relapse rate. If she was responding to lithium in past then it is advisable to give lithium again. Indoor psychiatric care is must. Treatment requires under supervision.  Besides lithium medicines like sodium valproate/olanzapine/risperidone etc. will be useful If she is not manageable at home then admit her in psychiatry institutions or hospitals. Injectable medicines will useful to control her behavior in initial stage. Do ttake advise from your treating doctor or psychiatrist. Happy to help you further. Feel free to ask. Thank you.
