[quote=Anonymous]My mom is bipolar, and when she was in her early 70s, the geriatric psychiatrist told us that there was a higher likelihood of dementia for this population. By the time she was in her late 70s she was unable to pay bills, and by her early 80s she could no longer work the dishwasher. She’s now in her 90s in a memory care unit. (She had been an accountant.) She stopped having manic episodes even without medication in her 70s, but remains depressed. It’s a hard road for everyone involved.[/quote]
