• Acute mania: It helps quickly control and calm severe manic symptoms, such as racing thoughts, extreme restlessness, rapid speech, and impulsive behaviours.
• Recurrent depression: It is sometimes used alongside other medications to treat persistent depression when standard antidepressants have not worked well enough on their own.
