H M Prakash1, S Bharath.   

Abstract

A controlled blind study was carried out to establish the efficacy of Sodium Valproate as the first line of treatment in Acute Mania. Patients were studied over a period of 4 weeks. Using randomised table patients were assigned to either lithium or valproate. Decrease in the psychopathology was evident within 2-3 weeks. Valproate was found to be as effective as Lithium in controlling the manic episode.
