Abstract
Abstract: Inpatient treatment of severe and chronic mood disorders can be challenging as clinicians are often under pressure to stabilize mood symptoms in a short period of time with limited resources. However, a multipronged team approach can help in fairly rapid resolution of symptoms. The case presented illustrates that this is both practical and beneficial.
