Popis: Results At the end of follow-up, we observed a global stability for diagnosis in 93% of patients and for the choice of primary anti-manic drug therapy in 74%. In case of changing primary treatment, almost half of changes were done within the same drug family and half toward a switch to another family. At D180, the switch rate from MS to AP was 5% and from AP to MS 14.5%. The global rate of treatment modifications (including changing of dose) was 44% at D15, 42% at D30, 34% at D60, 35% at D90, 32% at D180, and the major reason for modifications was partial efficacy (respectively 17.5%, 15%, 9.4%, 12.2% and 9.4%). Intolerance was the second reason (respectively 8%, 6.3%, 7%, 4.2% and 3.8%).
