Brief summary

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of Quetiapine extended release 600mg per day either as monotherapy or combined therapy in the treatment of patients with mania associated to Bipolar disorder. This trial will also assess the life quality and productivity loss improvement for patients from baseline to day 21.
