A client comes to the mental health clinic saying that he feels so down and lacking in energy with “loss of interest in everything.” He tells the nurse that he received some samples of a new medication from his primary care physician last week to relieve his depression. The nurse recalls that this client has a history of bipolar I disorder with hospitalization for a significant manic episode. With this knowledge, the nurse would have special concern if he is taking which of the following categories of medication?

1. Atypical antipsychotics.

2. Mood stabilizers/antimanics.

3. Antianxiety agents (benzodiazepines).

4. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant.
