The prevalence and burden of bipolar disorder: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Abstract: Despite being relatively rare, bipolar disorder is a disabling illness due to its early onset, severity and chronicity. Population growth and aging are leading to an increase in the burden of bipolar disorder over time. It is important that resources be directed towards improving the coverage of evidence-based intervention strategies for bipolar disorder and establishing strategies to prevent new cases of the disorder.

“…Consistent with these observations, the Global Burden of Disease Study attributed 9.9 million years lost to disability (YLD) to BD, making it the 16 th leading cause of YLD worldwide 24. The impact that BD has on young people is even greater, with being the sixth leading cause of disability‐adjusted life years among people aged 10‐24 years worldwide 25.…”

“…The clinical diagnosis of MDD is based on the presence of either depressed mood or loss of interest and pleasure (anhedonia) for at least 2 weeks, and requires additional symptoms such as weight loss, changes in appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of energy or fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, poor concentration, and suicidal thoughts [5]. Both MDD and BPD are among the most disabling mental health disorders worldwide [34,41,85,120] with a lifetime prevalence of~12 [4] and 1% [80], respectively. Based on the 2013 global burden of diseases study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, MDD alone caused an estimated 61.6 million years of life lived with disability worldwide, accounting for 8.1% of the total years lived with disability (YLDs) and for 2.5% of the total disability-adjusted life years [33,41,85].…”
