Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Yes, Depakote is a mood stabilizer. It helps in keeping the mood at neutral stage. The symptoms told by you can be a part of mania or personality issues. It's better to get diagnosed by a psychiatrist who are expert in mental illnesses. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Rohit Kothari
