78. Bipolar: 1 in 5000 to 1 in 20
The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is a modern concept. Manic depressive episodes have historically been rare. Once recognized in approximately 1 in every 5,000 people, it has since ballooned to a nearly 5% prevalence rate over the last 50 years. Further expansion into children and the creation of Bipolar II places more people at risk of misdiagnosis.
On today’s podcast we discuss bipolar disorder.
If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're
