The Booklets:

Antimanic Medicines

Antimanic (an-tie-man'-ik) medicines are used for people with mood problems. The person may feel too happy, too grouchy, too excited, or too sad. We talk a lot about this in the booklet. Sometimes antimanic medicines are used to help people who get mad too easily. When they are mad, they may try to hurt other people. This book is for people with mood problems (too excited or too sad) or with anger problems.
