Question 1

dr.kira stein i asked about easing symptoms of mixed mania you said see a psychiatrist and take meds.  i do both but am resistant to so many meds.

Accepted Answer

Other med options: Dear laura, 
medication resistance is a very frustrating condition, but usually there is a solution that has not het been tried.  Again, talk with your psychiatrist, or get a second opinion at a university-based mood clinic, where the most cutting-edge treatments are available.  Brain stimulation techniques may be considered, as well, if appropriate.
Sincerely, 
kira stein m.
