Whether the result of simple demographics, of better treatment leading to people with the disorder surviving longer, or as an element of aging, diagnoses of bipolar disorder have increased, particularly late-onset. This collection of 13 articles addresses a range of issues in geriatric bipolar disorder ranging from epidemiology and assessment to treatment, complexity and specialized care delivery and research. Topics include a survey of epidemiology, mood rating scales and the psychopathology of mania in old age, bipolar disorder on long-term care settings, secondary mania, biological treatments in later life, psychosocial interventions (dubbed "terra incognita"), adherence to treatment, substance abuse among older adults with bipolar disorder, medical comorbidity in late-life bipolar disorder, cultural issues in diagnosis and treatment, evidence-based medical care and legal or ethical issues in research.
