Bipolar disorder is a very common mental health problem that affects over 500,000 Australians that we currently know of. It is important to mention the fact that we don't fully know how many people suffer from bipolar disorder because it can be very hard to pinpoint, and often it takes months of appointments, sessions and failed treatment before bipolar disorder is properly diagnosed. If you suspect that you have many of the symptoms that are consistent with bipolar disorder, then why not ask for a genetic screening to make sure?
