After the treatment, her condition is reported to be stable, non-psychotic, calm and co-operative.

[Audio] Kuyabonelelwa Lembede is being treated at King Dinuzulu Hospital Psychiatric Ward for Bipolar Maniac Disorder and Asthma. To effectively manage their symptoms, they are taking various medications such as Salbutamol, Paracetamol, Allergx, Phenergan, and Aqueous cream. Each of these medications has a part to play in controlling the signs of Bipolar Maniac Disorder and Asthma. Salbutamol boosts vital capacity, lessens residual volume, and decreases airway resistance. Paracetamol works by restraining prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system thus decreasing pain and fever. Allergx holds back histamine. Phenergan is an antihistamine with anti-emetic, central sedative, and anti-cholinergic qualities. Finally, Aqueous cream hydrates the skin. All these medications together can be useful in managing the signs of Bipolar Maniac Disorder and Asthma..

[Audio] Kuyabonelelwa Lembede was prescribed Amitriptyline and Tramadol on 08 August, 2023. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by inhibiting the membrane pump mechanism responsible for re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in adrenergic and serotonergic neurons. Tramadol is a non-selective pure agonist at mu, delta & kappa opiate receptors with noradrenergic and serotonergic reuptake inhibition. Along with medication, psychotherapy interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoeducation and family therapy have been recommended to Kuyabonelelwa to help manage mood swings and develop self-awareness. The patient has been asked to maintain a consistent daily routine including regular sleep and meal, as well as keep a mood journal to monitor their mood fluctuations, sleep patterns and energy levels..

[Audio] It is essential for Kuyabonelelwa Lembede, undergoing treatment for Bipolar Manic Disorder and Asthma at King Dinuzulu Hospital Psychiatric Ward, to develop a comprehensive care-plan for managing their conditions. This should include a crisis plan with their healthcare provider and loved ones, as well as engaging in activities they enjoy, practising relaxation techniques and making time for hobbies and interests. They should be aware of any impulsive decisions they may make during manic episodes, such as excessive spending or risky behaviours, and stay in touch with a mental health provider for ongoing evaluation and adjustments to the treatment plan if needed. For the Asthma, they must understand their triggers and steps to minimise exposure to them, use a peak flow meter to measure their lung function and regularly track their symptoms, peak flow readings and medication use. Through a combination of medication, lifestyle and diet changes, Kuyabonelelwa Lembede is in a better position to manage their conditions effectively..
