Bipolar Disorder in Older Age Patients

“This book is concise and accessible to the generalist, yet it also provides scientific insights and clinically useful advice to the specialist along with a number of interesting diversions into less-frequented subjects.” (James W. Herron, The British Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 213 (1), July, 2018)

“This is a comprehensive review of current research regarding the evaluation and management of older adults suffering from bipolar disorder. … It is intended for general psychiatrists caring for older adults with bipolar disorder. It is also relevant for all gerontologists, residents, medical students, and health care providers and policy makers involved in the creation of programs and treatment of this patient population. … Each chapter includes clinical vignettes, learning points, and clinical pearls to illustrate the principles.” (Michael Easton, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
