how do mood stabilizers work?
Mood stabilizers are medicines used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where a personâs mood changes from a depressed feeling to a high âmanicâ feeling, or vice versa. These drugs can help reduce mood swings and prevent manic and depressive episodes.hile mood stabilizers are not addictive, when you take them (or any drug) over months or years, your body adjusts to the presence of the drug. If you then stop using the drug, especially if you stop suddenly, the absence of the drug may result in withdrawal effects or in return of symptoms.
