Description
This work details the modern biological and psychological models used to explain the onset of bipolar illness and the frequency of cycling. It describes practical clinical approaches to treating affective disorders with anticonvulsants, discussing the subtypes of bipolar disorder that respond preferentially to these drugs, and efficacy data on their use. The therapeutics of the two main anticonvulsants, carbamazepine and valproate, are elucidated.
