Addressing Challenges in Bipolar Disorder:
Polypharmacy, Maintenance Therapy, and Coexisting Medical Conditions

Clinicians are greatly challenged to stabilize the patient during an acute episode—manic or depressive—and to maintain stability and optimal functionality once the episode has resolved. This effort involves careful administration of pharmacologic agents, skillful integration of psychosocial and pharmacologic interventions, and meticulous management of comorbidities and adverse effects of medications.
