Abstract
Background
Bell's mania was first described in 1849, and other terms have been used to describe this condition, including delirious mania, mania with delirium, and excited delirium. However, no international diagnostic manual has included mania as an independent diagnostic tool. The criteria for delirious mania were proposed by Bond et al.
Methods
We present a case of a man without a personal or family psychiatric history who experienced his first manic episode of delirium and psychosis at 76 years old.
Conclusions
The case described in this study is compatible with mood disorders, the original description of Bell's mania, and Bond's definition of delirious mania. Although rare, extremely late-onset primary mania can occur without personal or family psychiatric history. The initial clinical presentation of delirium requires a thorough medical investigation, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture with neuronal antibodies. The addition of delirious mania to the group of bipolar disorders in future editions of The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has therapeutic and prognostic implications. The Bond criteria can provide valuable information in this respect. Further investigations are necessary to clarify the pathophysiology and epidemiology of delirious mania.
期刊介绍:
Bipolar Disorders is an international journal that publishes all research of relevance for the basic mechanisms, clinical aspects, or treatment of bipolar disorders and related illnesses. It intends to provide a single international outlet for new research in this area and covers research in the following areas:
biochemistry
physiology
neuropsychopharmacology
neuroanatomy
neuropathology
genetics
brain imaging
epidemiology
phenomenology
clinical aspects
and therapeutics of bipolar disorders
Bipolar Disorders also contains papers that form the development of new therapeutic strategies for these disorders as well as papers on the topics of schizoaffective disorders, and depressive disorders as these can be cyclic disorders with areas of overlap with bipolar disorders.
The journal will consider for publication submissions within the domain of: Perspectives, Research Articles, Correspondence, Clinical Corner, and Reflections. Within these there are a number of types of articles: invited editorials, debates, review articles, original articles, commentaries, letters to the editors, clinical conundrums, clinical curiosities, clinical care, and musings.
