KBS: Treatment for kbs is by treating the cause. For bipolar, it is mood stabilizers. There is no best medicine for all. Review with your doctor.

Interesting: Do you really have kluver-bucy syndrome, as it is indeed very rare? Agree with dr ali that best approach is to find cause, and for bipolar, use the standard meds. If you do have complex partial seizures, many anti-epileptic drugs can work. See a medical neurologist and a psychiatrist and get answers and directions.

Stroke, head trauma, encephalitis/CNS infections, epilepsy, or neurodegenerative disorders are all possibilities, and this list is not exhaustive. Bipolar requires the mood stabilizers. KBS-mood stabilizers, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antiepileptic drugs have been used w indications
