WHAT OLANZAPINE AN

AN alone, or in combination with
lithium or valproate, is used for
the short-term treatment of acute
manic episodes associated with
Bipolar I Disorder.
Olanzapine AN is also a mood
stabiliser
that

further

and low (depressed) extremes of
mood associated with Bipolar I
Disorder.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness
with

Disorder is a mental illness with
symptoms
such

illness.
