Question

McQueen et al.’s combined analysis linked this mental disorder with chromosomes 6q and 8q, but it also has been linked to CACNA1C, a gene whose mutations cause Timothy Syndrome. Symbyax, a combination of olanzapine (-5[1])and fluoxetine, was (-5[1])first developed (-5[1])to treat this mental disorder. (-5[2])It’s not (-5[1])epilepsy (-5[1])or trigeminal neuralgia, but carbamazepine, lamotrigine, which is sold as Lamictal, (15[1]0[1])and valproic acid, sold as Depakote, (-5[1])are (*) anticonvulsants mostly used (-5[1])to treat this mental disorder. Mixed affective states (-5[1])were first diagnosed (10[1])in people with this mental disorder’s “I” (10[1])type (-5[1])before (-5[1])being expanded (10[1])to its “II” type (10[1])and the closely related condition cyclothymia (10[1]-5[2])(“syke-loe-THIGH-mee-uh”). For 10 points, name this mental disorder which is often (10[1])treated by lithium (10[2]-5[1])and (10[1])is characterized by (-5[1])swings between mania and depression. (10[6])■END■ (10[8])
