In reply to my mothers going manic, posted by Slinky on August 18, 2004, at 12:14:18
as people age, their brains change... my grandmother went nutty when she hit menopause and she never really recovered. i don't think it's unheard of for someone to become manic or psychotic at age 70... when i worked in nursing homes people who were perfectly, uh, "normal" started having panic attacks and anxiety attacks, got depressed, etc. i don't think mania is too far off from that. just the other extreme of depression.
hope her meds help her. :/
