Geodon for Schizophrenia
Although psychotherapy may be helpful for schizophrenia, medication is often essential to
schizophrenia treatment. Geodon can help improve the
symptoms of schizophrenia. It also helps to prevent schizophrenia relapses (worsening of schizophrenia).
Geodon for Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as
manic depression, is a serious brain disease that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and functioning. It is different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through -- the symptoms of bipolar disorder are more severe. Effective
bipolar disorder treatment usually involves a combination of psychotherapy and
bipolar medications.
Geodon is approved to treat acute episodes of mania or mixed episodes (which involve symptoms of both mania and
depression).
