Brivaracetam can surely cause mood swing though less than levetiracetam. However, occasionally levetiracetam can cause less behavioral disturbances when compared to brivaracetam .there are many antiseizure drugs that does not worsen mood or anxiety like lamotrigine or carbamazepine.

It looks as though Kavita was given tablets for manic episode at present. There is no mood stabilizer in the list you have given.
