Prescription Medications Bipolar disorder usually requires treatment with prescription medications. Prescriptions often include mood stabilizers and/or antipsychotics. Your healthcare provider would determine the best prescription therapies for you based on your most prominent symptoms, side effects, and how well the medications work for you. It’s possible that you could need adjustments to your treatments over time. Commonly prescribed medications include: Lithium: Often described as the gold standard in treating bipolar disorder, lithium is considered a mood stabilizer....

Sunday’s “flash crash,” similar to wild computer-driven swings in the stock market, did no lasting harm, and Bitcoin’s price quickly made up some of the loss. “A power outage in the Xinjiang region of China where a significant portion of Bitcoin mining takes place caused a very sudden dip in the global hashrate which, in turn, caused transactions to back up and fees to rocket temporarily,” Jason Deane, Bitcoin analyst at Quantum Economics, London, told Newsweek....

The depth charge this time is a 13,000-word article in The New Republic written by 24-year-old Ruth Shalit, a talented if habitually careless writer. Shalit, who is white, paints a grim picture of a newspaper that hires and promotes candidates solely on the basis of race, waters down its coverage of minority leaders and harbors deeply resentful white reporters. If the paper wasn’t aflame before the piece appeared (the disputes over race were actually much hotter in the 1980s), it is now, at least temporarily....

A thousand years ago, this was one of the richest cities in the world, the terminus of the cross-Saharan trade that brought salt to exchange for slaves, gold and ivory. The palace has 5-foot thick walls, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, stone pathways and ornate mosaic domes. On the walls are large color photographs of a serious-looking man wearing a white turban with a veil across the bottom of his face. The two tails of the ceremonial knot that holds the veil in place look like bunny ears....

“The most dangerous people for Black people are white liberals,” Cleveland Councilman Basheer Jones recently told me. “I would rather deal with a person who is openly racist but I can do business with them than deal with a person who says ‘I’m the best thing since sliced bread’ but never allows me the opportunity to grow economically.” While these comments may seem surprising to people who only view politics as a red team vs....

Two protesters were captured on video dumping blue and white paint on the mural that Mayor Bill de Blasio had installed in front of President Donald Trump’s Trump Tower on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Authorities said three people were arrested and given a desk appearance. They have since been released. A fourth person was issued a summons for posting flyers. This is the second time the mural was vandalized this week, after a man splattered red paint on the mural site Monday....

There is no official wrong answer when taking a Rorschach test; its purpose is more to glean what your perceptions reveal about you as a human being. But in America, negative perceptions of Black men work like a trick question that police officers all too often get wrong—to devastating effect. It’s a crucial yet under-covered piece of what happened between Derek Chauvin and George Floyd. On Tuesday, Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer and white man, was convicted of the second and third degree murder and second degree manslaughter of George Floyd, a Black man choked to death by Chauvin’s knee....

On Friday morning, Trump left Washington, D.C., for Atlanta, where he was scheduled to meet with supporters for a roundtable discussion followed by a fundraising event at The Whitley hotel. Both events that were closed to the press. The president was then scheduled to deliver remarks at the Black Voices for Trump Coalition rollout at the Georgia World Congress Center, which was open to the public and press. While Trump performed better among black voters in 2016 than Mitt Romney did in 2012, he carried only 8 percent of the demographic’s vote....

The defensively challenged Blackhawks placed their starting goalie and early season MVP on injured reserve Friday afternoon, declining to disclose the nature or severity of the ailment in a brief media release. It was a surprise development after Crawford played the entirety of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars Thursday, stopping 31 of 35 shots. MORE: NHL’s worst injuries in 2017-18 To take Crawford’s place, Chicago recalled Jean-Francois Berube (6-6-0, 2....

Game 4 arrives Saturday, at which time the Blackhawks could even things up and reduce the Western Conference finals to a best-of-3. MORE: Ducks grind out Game 3 victory | Rangers-Lightning, Game 4 | Playoff images | Video Still, one must wonder whether the Blackhawks can rebound from their biggest weakness: a defense corps that is two players shy of full. Observers rightfully note the Ducks’ ability to prevent Blackhawks stars from scoring....

The opposite has happened since a beer-league player shared the the story in a tweet that went viral over the weekend. MORE: NHL’s top rookies | Stanley Cup odds The player, Kane Van Gate, relayed a second-hand version he’d heard from his Uber driver about how Darling went out of his way to assist a man who’d approached him asking for money during the Blackhawks’ road trip to Scottsdale, Ariz....

That’s true for one side this year; not so much the other. This was supposed to serve as a marquee matinee for schedule makers at the beginning of 2017-18, but the last-place Blackhawks’ untimely demise strips it of some luster. Chicago is going through the motions of a lost season, having been virtually out of playoff contention since the beginning of February. MORE: Jonathan Toews’ troubling decline has Blackhawks in a bind...

Vizio teamed up with Griffin to present “Slam Dunk Poetry.” I’m not sure how or why this came to be, but I’m so very glad it did. If you want Blake Griffin to write you a personalized poem (and why wouldn’t you?) check out Vizio’s website. Update: In case anyone was wondering, yes, Griffin actually performed his poems live at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. His execution was magnificent....

It’s even worse for Portland fan Josh Thatcher, who had to eat a shoe after betting Lillard would make it. MORE: Lillard “thanks” league for All-Star snub | Is Damian Lillard a good defender? Ok, I just blacked out for a second, but I’m back. That last line is correct. Thatcher bet a few other Blazers fans on Twitter that Lillard would take the All-Star spot vacated by the injured Kobe Bryant....

Dubois is coming off a season in which he potted 49 points (18 goals, 31 assists) in 70 regular-season games before tacking on 10 points in 10 playoff bubble games. In three NHL seasons, before 2021, he collected 158 points in 234 games for Columbus and would be a great pickup for any team. Obviously, it could be a tad difficult this year for general manager Jarmo Kekalainen to ship out the disgruntled No....

Yankees second baseman Dustin Ackley attempted to go from first to third on a single to right field in the top of the seventh inning Tuesday night against Toronto. Bautista fired a laser to third base, and Josh Donaldson supplied a smooth tag on Ackley to get the out. Ackley was originally called safe, but replay clearly showed the tag was made prior to his foot reaching the base....

Toronto infielder Munenori Kawasaki took part in the celebration, and he deserved it. The Japanese-born player came over to play in MLB after winning two titles in the Japan Series. MORE: Get to know Toronto | Blue Jays in October? That’s so 90s! His interesting backstory made him the prime candidate to be interviewed. But unfortunately for the man asking the questions (and fortunately for us), Kawasaki wasn’t in the right state of mind to offer thoughtful responses....
