Abstract

In recent years, estimates of the lifetime prevalence of bipolar disorder have been extensively revised. Historical rates of 1–2% [1]have now increased to 5–7% [2], although there is widespread variation, with European data indicating a prevalence of 0.6–0.8% [3]and some lifetime estimates of bipolar spectrum disorder as high as 24% [4].
