The Impact of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder can have serious effects on your life and the lives of your loved ones. You may see some problems day to day, but you should know the long-term problems that this disease can cause.

Here are some of the long-term problems that bipolar disorder can cause:

Bipolar disorder can cause problems with relationships, jobs, and family.
Married people with bipolar disorder are 2 to 3 times more likely to get divorced than those who do not have the disease.
Bipolar disorder is often not treated or misdiagnosed. Because of this, you may not understand your own behavior and your loved ones may feel frustrated.
