The methodology used in this research is reviewing pertinent literature. Through the analysis and reviewing of pertinent literature, this study integrates most treatment methods for bipolar disorder and discusses their mechanism, advantages, and shortcomings, including adverse effects. A finding of this essay is the optimal treatment method for bipolar disorder, which is combined therapy of psychosocial treatment and medical treatment. Mood stabilizers combined with antipsychotics are believed to be more effective for severe patient. Monotherapy solely using a mood stabilizer is recommended only for mild parents. Moreover, psychologists should make psychosocial treatment plans based on the patient’s individual conditions, characteristics, and background. Patients should adhere to psychosocial treatment for long-term maintenance.
