But because you are young there is a possibility that if you cooperate well and get the right kind of therapy, you could recover well.

I have read the information written. Please understand no doctor will prescribe a drug which has such serious side effects. Olanzepine is by and large a very safe drug.

It is not sufficient to rely on medication alone for your recovery. In counseling, which incidentally will be a long term intervention, you will learn of a lot of ways to cope with life and make adj...more

The exact cause of bipolar disorder isn’t known, but a combination of genetics, environment and altered brain structure and chemistry may play a role.
Manic episodes may include symptoms such as high energy, reduced need for sleep and loss of touch with reality. Depressive episodes may include symptoms such as low energy, low motivation and loss of interest in daily activities. Mood episodes last days to months at a time and may also be associated with suicidal thoughts.

It appears that by nature or due to certain disturnances he may be showing depression and mental agitation. Instead of some tranquilisers, he should be taken to an experienced psychiatrist for consultation urgently. If advised he may need comprehensive management requiring even hospitalisation and treatment under direct supervision.
