Abstract
We originally compare the outcome of bipolar disorders in the elderly, to recurring depressions and single depressions. We confirm the fatal outcome of recurrences in bipolar disorders in old age. Bipolar disorders in the elderly should be considered as a real public health care problem : strategies to minimize the number of episodes experienced by patients with bipolar illness must be pursued aggressively throughout life.
