Post‐stroke mania: a rare but treatable presentation

Abstract
Mania occurring for the first time in later life is uncommon; however, it can rarely occur as a consequence of stroke. Here, the authors present the case of an elderly man who developed secondary mania shortly following a haemorrhagic stroke, and who responded well to treatment with olanzapine.
