I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I am 52 and have been psychosis-free on Lithium alone for 23 years. My manic episodes almost killed me and I could't move when depressed. I have an occasional hypo-manic episode if I'm exhausted or take less Li. And I'm generally kind of dysthymic. But these moods have no association with age. I am a little worried about the slight memory loss I experience from years of Lithium use. OK, so I'm a little paranoid, too.
