This report is an overview of the effect of common mood stabilizers. The mood stabilizers such as lithium are highly toxic drugs used to treat what psychiatric call manic depression now referred to as bipolar disorder.
Lately, Lithium has become less used in favour of the newer, more expensive antipsychotics.
I discovered this book has an important role to play in over coming mood stabilizers side effects, now it's important to Note that reading this article is not a fair ground to stop intake of drugs instantly based on the information been provided here.
It's very advisable to seek the advice of a medical doctor or health practitioners before stopping the intake of any drug for your health conditions.

"INTRODUCTION"
In the introduction of the mood stabilizers the book took *Allison's as a case study to illustrate the Lithium effects, from the story of Allison from midway through her eight grades, she encountered a drop on her grades, not to mention her interest in socialising and in music also declined.
Here condition was so terrible that she also find it comfortable laying on the bed staring at the wall. This case took her to be diagnosed with depression and was place on the high dosage antidepressants, it result to effect of mood swung to "high" and shortly afterwards, Allison was diagnosed again with "bipolar" and prescribe Lithium.
With constant in take of antidepressants combination her shortness of breath set-in addition to increase in heartbeat and high blood pressure.
Bipolar formally called "manic depression" was considered an adult problem from the on set, rather now Bipolar has been popularised as children diagnosis by Harvard University psychiatrist *Joseph Biederman from the 1990s.
Noticed also that many expert agree with the fact that because there were no lab tests to comfirm the psychiatric disorder presence or it's absence, as well as psychiatric diagnoses such as bipolar are speculative and unscientific

Mood stabilizers explanation
I can read the minds of most readers who couldn't understand the concept of mood stabilizers.
On this position I stand to explain base on the point of view that mood stabilizers as of the year 1995, hardly anyone had of the word or team mood stabilizers at that same period Abbott Laboratories received a licence to use it's anticonvulsant Depakote to treat acute mania that was before improvement in technology today.
We can understand that the reverse is the case now,
the team "Mood Stabilizers" is well known in the context of psychiatrically, they are used to treat "Mood disorders"
