Complications
| This section requires expansion. |
Complications are similar to those for schizophrenia and major mood disorders. These include:
- Problems following medical treatment and therapy.
- Use of unsanctioned drugs in an attempt to self-medicate.
- Short-term side effects and problems arising from long-term use of prescribed medications, including drug interactions.
- Problems resulting from manic behavior (for example: spending sprees, sexual indiscretion, criminal activity).
- Suicidal behavior due to depressive and/or psychotic symptoms.
