the concept of a unipolar-bipolar dichotomy of affective disorder (8) has been challenged by spectrum and threshold theories that consider mania a more severe form of affective disorder (9, 10). The average age at onset of affective disorder has been reported to be in the late 40s or SOs in elderly manic pahave suffered from mania before the age of 30 (5). Age at onset may distinguish subgroups of manic patients with different clinical and biological features (11). In both mania and depression in old age, a good deal of attention has been directed at the role of cerebral-organic factors. Retrospective studies have found an association between coarse brain disorders and mania in old age (4, 5, 12). In a recent prospective study, Broadhead and Jacoby (6) used CT scans to study elderly as well as young patients with mania. They concluded that “organic factors may play an important role in the genesis of affective disorder in old age.” Based in part on the earlier findings of Shulman and Post (4), we hypothesized that, compared with depression in old age, mania in old age 1) is a more severe form of affective disorder, 2) is associated with a preponderance of neurological disorders, and 3) has a poorer prognosis. Usually, depression in old age has

by Krauthammer and Klerman (20), associated with a relatively lower rate of genetic predisposition to affective disorder. This is in marked contrast to the long latency from first depression to manic episode for many of the elderly manic patients who did not have evidence of neurological disorder. Manic patients experienced a poor outcome, suffering a significantly higher mortality rate. Half of the manic patients were dead after almost 6 years of followup, compared with 20% of the depressed patients. This high mortality rate has not been reported in follow-up studies of patients with early-onset mania (21). The higher mortality rate among manic patients may account for the relatively shorter time to institutionalization for depressed patients. For elderly manic patients whose first psychiatric hospitalization was for depression, an average of 15 years elapsed before mania became manifest. This is suggestive
