ANSWERS<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Mania has two levels depending on a diagnosis. What are they?\u00a0 (The answer\u00a0 is c.) Full blown mania and hypomania. They share similar symptoms, but the full\u00a0 blown mania\u00a0is far more serious and often requires hospitalization. It can also\u00a0 be combined with psychosis.\u00a0 But don\u2019t think that hypomania doesn\u2019t cause\u00a0 problems. It certainly does! \u00a0People with bipolar I have full blown mania.\u00a0 People with bipolar ii have hypomania.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What medications are used to treat and manage mania? (The answer is d.) \u00a0 All of the above.\u00a0 And sometimes all at once!\u00a0 Anti epileptic medications such a Lamictal, Depakote\u00a0and Tegretol \u00a0are\u00a0used as mood stabilizers, but they were originally for epilepsy. \u00a0Interesting!<\/span><\/p>\n
