Late mania may inaugurate a late-onset bipolar illness. Atypical features and organic brain abnormalities are frequently associated. Late-onset bipolar illness is apparently characterized by a strong instability of mood and a super or subsensitivity to neuroleptics and antidepressant drugs. However, there is a strong efficacy of lithium salts and lithium may be used as a curative and preventive treatment or as a therapeutic test, especially in atypical cases. The occurrence of mania in elderly people involves a specifical etiologic, therapeutic and diagnostic approach.
迟发性躁狂可能引发迟发性双相情感障碍。非典型特征与器质性脑异常常常相关。迟发性双相情感障碍显然以情绪的强烈不稳定以及对神经阻滞剂和抗抑郁药物的超敏或低敏为特征。然而，锂盐有很强的疗效，锂可用于治疗和预防，或用作治疗性试验，尤其是在非典型病例中。老年人出现躁狂涉及特定的病因、治疗和诊断方法。
