Bipolar disorder (BD) is a multifaceted psychiatric condition characterized by variations in prevalence, age of onset, gender distribution, and socio-economic impacts. Epidemiological studies indicate a lifetime prevalence ranging from 1% to 5% in the general population. BD typically emerges during late adolescence or young adulthood, with peak onset occurring between 15 and 19 years old, affecting approximately 70% of individuals before the age of 25. Gender disparities in BD prevalence and clinical features have been noted, with recent findings suggesting a higher prevalence among female patients and distinct symptom presentations between genders. The diagnosis and prognosis of BD are influenced by various factors, including socio-economic status, cultural background, and marital status. Additionally, comorbidity with other psychiatric and general medical conditions is common, contributing to elevated mortality rates and reduced life expectancy in individuals with BD. Suicidal behavior is a significant concern, with approximately one-third of patients attempting suicide during their lifetime.
