A member asked:
What are some ways you can treat a full blown manic episode besides just relying on meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication: Medication is the most effective treatment. A person is manic because their chemistry does not allow them to slow down. Medication alters the brain chemistry so that an individual can slow their thoughts and/or actions. In addition to medication, having supportive persons to talk to is quite helpful.
