How Can Bipolar Disorder Along With Depression And Hypomania Be Treated?

I have bipolar disorder - i experience paranoia, racing thoughts, insomnia, extreme depression, hypomania, irritability, agitation, extreme aggression, and violence. i was given Geodon, Effexor, and Trazadone, this seems excessive. then i was told to just take Geodon alone. as a child, Ritalin was the only thing that helped my racing thoughts. i have a history of incarceration in solitary confinement.
