This book provides a comprehensive but practical understanding of
the clinical approach to evaluating and caring for older people
with bipolar disorder. Aspects of aging that impact the diagnosis,
clinical course, and management of bipolar disorder are explained;
in particular, attention is drawn to the implications of
comorbidities and medical complexity for the psychiatric care of
older individuals with the disorder. On the other hand,
similarities to treatment in younger patients are also identified.
The coverage includes thorough review of current research in the
field. Clinical case vignettes are used throughout to highlight
practical points, and each chapter includes "clinical pearls" that
summarize key points for the clinician. The book closes by
examining anticipated research directions and the future needs of
this patient population. Bipolar Disorder in Older Age Patients
will be an ideal update for the practicing community or geriatric
psychiatrist working with older patients with bipolar disorder.
