Resumo: Bipolar disorder (BAD) is a potentially severe condition characterized by mood shifts and cognitive and functional dysfunction. This article reviews updated evidence on the pharmacological and non-drug interventions for BD in the elderly. Evidence-based guidelines, although useful in promoting rational and effective therapy, are still relatively scarce for BD in aged individuals. Current recommendations for acute mania include the use ofatypical antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine), lithium (with judicious administration), and the choice of valproate as a gold standard therapy. In acute BD depression, first-line monotherapy agents may include lithium, lamotrigine, quetiapine, and extendedrelease quetiapine (XR). Regarding the choice of the ideal mood stabilizer, the greater potential for side effects associated with lithium has discouraged its prescription in elderly individuals. Electroconvulsive therapy, although limited by the evidence available, may be an option for severe/refractory cases.

O presente artigo revisa as evidências atualizadas das intervenções farmacológicas e não medicamentosas direcionadas ao TAB em idosos. Diretrizes baseadas em evidências, embora sejam úteis na promoção de uma terapia racional e eficaz, ainda são relativamente reduzidas no TAB em idosos. As recomendações atuais para mania aguda incluem o uso de antipsicóticos atípicos (por exemplo, risperidona, quetiapina, olanzapina), lítio (de maneira criteriosa) e a eleição de valproato como terapia padrão ouro. Na depressão aguda do TAB, os agentes de primeira linha em monoterapia podem incluir lítio, lamotrigina, quetiapina e quetiapina de liberação prolongada. No que se refere à escolha do estabilizador de humor ideal, o maior potencial de efeitos colaterais relacionados ao lítio vem desestimulando sua prescrição em indivíduos idosos. A eletroconvulsoterapia, embora limitada pela evidência, pode ser uma opção para casos graves/refratários.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2017-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedRevisado por ParesAvaliado Pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/7010.25118/2236-918X-7-6-3Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 7 No. 6 (2017); 26-36Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 7 Núm. 6 (2017); 26-36Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 7 n. 6 (2017); 26-362763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPporhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/70/55https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, Gilberto SousaSudo, Felipe KenjiBriand, LucasPantel, Johannes2023-06-08T00:53:16Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/70Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2023-06-08T00:53:16Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false
