Bipolar and the Elderly
If anyone can direct me to some information for treatment for the elderly with bipolar, I'd appreciated it. I googled but didn't find much. My best friend's mother is 80 and has had bipolar for many years. She's currently in a manic phase and making the whole family nervous.
The doctors keep trying new meds but nothing is working. She was on lithium but it seems to not be working. Or maybe she's not taking it properly. She's gotten very mean and abusive.
Any links or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Love,
Lenina
