A very quick search says that the Orfiril is indicated (used) for: seizures, mania in bipolar, and to prevent migraines.
I think it's a derivative (or whatever) of Depakote (valproate).
A physicians desk reference would be useful.  (But the internet is good too).

Depending on how you choose to interpret your doctor's comments he still could be truthful.

The second is a mood stabilizer -I think.  I'm not 100% certain.
