Shift responsibility

Limit testing

Alienation of family--may be aggressive
and abusive
Biologic Theories
Ion dysregulation: causes oversensitivity of
neuron to stimuli
 Alteration in transcription of messengers in
nerve cell nucleus

Neurotransmitters involved in mania/bipolar:
 Excessive Dopamine and Norepinephrine
  availability of GABA and Serotonin
Diagnoses (At end of your outline)

are FDA approved mood stabilizing agents.
 Used
alone or with other mood stabilizing
agents
 Other
antipsychotics: used prn for agitation
Lithium
Mechanism of action unknown: similarity to
action of Na /replaces Na in the body
 Slow onset: 2 weeks
 Narrow range of therapeutic level 0.6 to 1.2
mEq/L; the optimum maintenance level is 0.8
mEq/L
Toxic over 1.5 mEq/L
 “Normal side effects”- weight gain, fine hand
tremor, nausea, metal taste

Lithium Toxicity
Narrow therapeutic range: therapeutic
dose is close to a toxic dose.
 Mild to Moderate toxic reactions:


1.5 to 2 mEq/L
 Diarrhea
