Doctor's answer:
Bipolar emotional disorder is actually schizophrenia. Bipolar emotional disorder is a disease name derived from the classification and typing of Western medicine. Risperidone is an antipsychotic Western medicine, which has a good suppressive effect in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, due to its high dependence, it cannot be discontinued before there is an alternative treatment with other drugs, otherwise the condition will relapse. Like other antipsychotic Western medicines, this drug has significant side effects and can affect the liver, kidneys, brain, and other functions. Therefore, most patients experience symptoms such as delayed response, poor concentration, low mood, and slow movement after taking it.
