Yay for lamotrigine!

Oh, yes!: vitamin D when depressed and "working" from home.

Some meds, not just psychoactive, can be injected intravenously or as depot: the former works very fast (pretty much instantly) while the latter is for maintenance and works very slow. It also depends on whether you take any atypical antipsychotics orally or other antihistaminic meds.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
