Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a potentially life long condition characterised by episodes of mania or hypomania, and episodes of depressed mood. The peak age of onset is 15-19 years, and life time prevalence is about 25% of adults. Dr Alan Cohen author of the EKU15 module on the Assessment & Management of Bipolar Disorder in Adults, Children & Young People speaks to Dr Sally Higginbottom about this topic.
