[edit] Vandalism

This page has been vandalized. Personally, it's frightening that anyone would graffiti such a serious topic.

[edit] Medication.

Current version of this article states, that a treatment option are "anticonvulsants (aka mood stabilizers)", this is, however, misleading. While, apart lithium all other major mood stabilizers are antiepileptics, this doesn't mean that antiepileptics in general are mood stabilizers; much more AEDs may have some mood stabilising potential, but not every AED is necessarily a mood stabilizer. I will change the formulation to somewhat more convenient.--84.163.108.65 23:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FDA approval for Mixed States.

The article currently reads that only Abilify is FDA approved to treat mixed states. This not true. Depakote ER, Equetro(carbamazepine), and all the atypical antipsychotics except Seroquel, Clozaril and Invega have approval for acute mixed episodes.
