Can mania be cured?

In general, whether mania can be cured depends on the specific circumstances. With standardized treatment and long-term management, most patients can achieve clinical remission; however, if treatment is delayed or medications are discontinued without guidance, relapses are common and stable control becomes difficult.

If medical care is sought promptly after onset and medications such as lithium carbonate tablets, sodium valproate sustained-release tablets, and olanzapine tablets are taken as prescribed, along with psychological interventions and behavioral therapy, symptoms like excitement, agitation, and racing thoughts can be rapidly controlled. By continuing with consolidation treatment, most individuals can return to normal work and social activities, meeting the criteria for clinical recovery.

If symptoms are ignored or medications are stopped prematurely after symptom relief, the condition is prone to recur and may progress into bipolar disorder, characterized by alternating episodes of mania and depression. This increases treatment difficulty and may lead to sleep disturbances and impulsive behaviors, significantly affecting quality of life.

In daily life, a calm and harmonious environment should be maintained, avoiding excessive stimulation. Family members should supervise regular medication intake and encourage participation in relaxing activities such as jogging or painting. Helping patients develop awareness of emotional regulation and ensuring regular follow-up visits are essential for maintaining long-term stability.
