Mania Symptoms and Diagnosis

Mania, Manic, Maniac
In Batman comics and media, The Joker is portrayed as a classic maniac. Jack the Ripper may be the archetypal homicidal maniac. The unfortunate thing is that the words mania, manic and maniac are often thought of as interchangeable - even when talking about bipolar mania or a bipolar manic episode. But they are not equivalent. It's time to set the record straight on these three words.

Lithium Side Effects
Lithium has been shown to be an effective mood stabilizer for people with bipolar disorder, but like other bipolar medications, it has potential side effects, and some can be serious, especially when they indicate an overdose. If you or a loved one are taking lithium, please review the side effects so you know what you should notice if they occur.
