Is Bipolar Disorder On The Rise?

Epidemiologic studies that look at prevalence rates estimate bipolar disorder to exist in about 2-4% of the US population. That's small compared to unipolar depression that's around 10 to 12%. The peak age of onset is between ages 20-30. That’s the most common age range. Some people develop prominent symptoms in the adolescent years and there is a late onset form that occurs around ages 45-55. Some of these prevalence studies are years old, like from the early 2000’s, but they still show an upward trend of more people being diagnosed. The answer to why the increase in bipolar disorder, may lie in the risk factors which are the things that can increase your risk of developing bipolar disorder. We still don't know exactly what causes bipolar disorder and it's an active research focus. But here are five of the factors that have strong evidence for increasing your risk of developing bipolar disorder. 1. obesity. 2. cannabis. 3. certain illnesses, especially inflammatory-based ones like irritable bowel syndrome and asthma. 4. having a first degree relative with the illness. 5. having been infected with the parasite, toxoplasma Gondi.
