The medication that gets you better, may not be the same medication that keeps you better.

Typically, people with bipolar disorder require a combination of medications that you take at the same time. Why? Because the medications treat different aspects of the disorder. The main four phases that we target in treating bipolar disorder are Acute depression, Acute mania, mixed states and the maintenance phase.

And acute means it’s the active state that you're in and it's relatively recent. maintenance phase is the in between episodes when things have stabilized.

Not all of the medications work for every phase. So you could be put on a medication because you're manic and then once that mania goes away you can have a depressive episode pop up because that original mania drug isn't doing a good enough job keeping your depression away.\n
