NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 42: Mood Disorders: Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder

Sarah Mitchell separates major depression from bipolar mania and teaches the nursing care for each, from structured routines and simple choices to finger foods and firm limits. She explains why suicide risk climbs as energy returns, walks through lithium's narrow therapeutic range and toxicity signs, covers ECT preparation and antidepressant teaching, and works two scenarios, a patient who suddenly seems at peace and a man on lithium after a stomach bug.
