One of the most common causes of disability worldwide, bipolar disorder (BD) affects more than 1 percent of people, most commonly around the age of 20. The majority of cases, according to previous longitudinal studies of high-risk populations, experience major depressive disorder (MDD) as an index mood episode prior to the first (hypo) manic episode. In addition, these studies indicated that it took an average of five years to receive a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BD). The ideal time to identify and intervene is between the onset of symptoms and its complete development.
