Resumo
Objetivo: Investigar na literatura científica se há melhor tratamento para Transtorno Afetivo Bipolar (TAB) ao comparar os antipsicóticos lítios e quetiapina, além de entender mais sobre esses fármacos e suas ações na doença supracitada. Métodos: Foram selecionados, na base de dados PubMed, artigos, os quais abordavam a respeito da testagem da eficácia, os efeitos colaterais e adversos do lítio e/ou da quetiapina na terapia de pacientes com transtorno afetivo bipolar, publicados entre 2018 e 2022. Resultados: Foram evidenciados pelos estudos que a quetiapina e o lítio são amplamente utilizados em pacientes com transtorno afetivo bipolar (TAB), condição de difícil manejo e controle na psiquiatria. Esses antipsicóticos têm como principal dificuldade os efeitos colaterais, sendo muitas vezes responsáveis pela descontinuidade do tratamento. Considerações finais: Não houve consenso entre as literaturas em qual fármaco é superior ao tratamento do transtorno afetivo bipolar (TAB), se lítio ou quetiapina, os dois fármacos fazem parte do tratamento tendo vantagens e desvantagens, enfrentando, os efeitos colaterais da quetiapina tem um peso maior na não adesão ao tratamento por parte dos pacientes.
