Case report on Bipolar Affective Disorder with Manic Episodes and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Abstract

Bipolar affective disorder (bipolar disorder) is a complex illness characterized by periods of severe mood disruption, including manic episodes. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications tailored to the individual's symptoms and needs. Here, we present the case report of a 45-year-old male farmer with bipolar affective disorder and comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus and chronic myeloid leukemia. The patient exhibited symptoms of mania, including irritability, decreased sleep, over talkativeness, delusions of grandiosity and perception, and psychomotor agitation. Treatment with Risperidone, Sodium Valproate, Haloperidol, Promethazine, and Lorazepam resulted in a 25% improvement in symptoms. Despite challenges posed by comorbid illness and past experiences, the patient showed improvement with adherence to medication. This case underscores the importance of tailored treatment approaches in managing bipolar affective disorder and highlights the need for further research to bridge the gap between evidence-based treatment and clinical practice.
