Late-onset bipolar disorder in a 65-year-old was linked to hyperthyroidism. Treating the thyroid condition resolved bipolar symptoms, highlighting the need for thorough investigation in older patients.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Bipolar disorder typically manifests in early adulthood, with late-onset presentations being uncommon.
  • Late-onset bipolar disorder (Bipolar Disorder) is often associated with comorbid medical conditions.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old patient presented with symptoms indicative of late-onset bipolar disorder.
  • The patient's medical history and physical examination were reviewed.

Findings:

  • Laboratory investigations and physical examination revealed underlying hyperthyroidism.
  • The patient received treatment for hyperthyroidism using antithyroid medication and anxiolytics.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive medical evaluation for late-onset bipolar disorder to identify and treat secondary causes.
