Answer:

The correct answers are option a. "Olanzapine", c. "Ziprasidone" and e. "Aripiprazole".

Step-by-step explanation:

Olanzapine, Ziprasidone and Aripiprazole are three atypical antipsychotics with long-term use that proved that are able to prevent the recurrence of mood episodes in clients with bipolar disease. Olanzapine blocks the receptors for several neurotransmitters; Ziprasidone has a binding affinity for dopamine, serotonin, and histamine; while Aripiprazole enhance the dopaminergic activity by acting as a partial agonist at D2 receptors. This three antipsychotics work with different mechanisms of action and its use should be prescribed by a specialized that could determine which treatment could be more effective.
