Research Notes on Bipolar Disorder in Men
Bipolar disorder occurs as frequently in men as it does in women.1 Men are less likely to seek help for the disorder, resulting in their under-representation in the treatment population.1 As a result, men with bipolar disorder have a poorer prognosis than women.1
Fast Facts:
- Rapid cycling bipolar disorder occurs less frequently in men than in women.2
- The first affective symptoms of bipolar disorder in men usually occur before the age of 25.2
- Bipolar disorder in elderly men is typically secondary to a medical, often neurological, condition.2
- If you think you may have symptoms of bipolar disorder, you can take an OrganizedWisdom quiz to help shed light on whether or not you may have this condition.
