Which drug is used as a Mood Stabilizer?

  1. Serzone (nefazodone)

  2. Lithium (lithium carbonate)

  3. Lexapro (escitalopram)

  4. Haldol (haloperidol)

The correct answer is: Lithium (lithium carbonate)

Lithium (lithium carbonate) is the correct answer because it is one of the oldest and most commonly used mood stabilizers. It is specifically used to treat bipolar disorder and helps to regulate mood swings. Serzone (nefazodone) is an antidepressant and would not be considered a mood stabilizer. Lexapro (escitalopram) is also an antidepressant and Haldol (haloperidol) is an antipsychotic, neither of which are typically used as mood stabilizers. Overall, Lithium is the most appropriate answer as it is specifically used for mood stabilization and is not commonly used for other mental health conditions.
