I was wondering if you had any information on the debate of midlife crisis being included in the DSM-IV. Is it a real disorder or a culturally induced myth? Can you please explain to me why or why not it should be a recognized mental illness? What mental illnesses are similar to this condition?

I am doing a research project on elderly people with mental illness. Can you tell me what percentage of the nursing home population is mentally ill? What special needs do the elderly have and what medications may be able to help them specifically (including anything in the works)? Also, how easy would it be for the average person to care for someone like this, such as a family member?
