mayo clinic has some info, same with goodrx. i don’t think you should get your information from tiktok… try just googling the med and look at results from medical facilities

There are many medications for bipolar but I want to mention lithium because it seems strange, but it's a common treatment for bipolar! I don't have bipolar but I am a psych student

This sounds stupid but tiktok search genuinely has good information as long as you watch professionals

My psychiatrist said that there are only 5 FDA approved medications for treating bipolar, if she does diagnose me she wants to start me on latida
