Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lithium carbonate is the most common medication prescribed for bipolar disorder. It helps stabilize mood and prevent manic and depressive episodes. Imipramine and MAO inhibitors are antidepressants often used for major depressive disorder, but not specifically for bipolar disorder. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is an SSRI antidepressant, which is not as commonly used for bipolar disorder as lithium carbonate.
