One in two adults living with bipolar disorder consult at least three medical professionals about their symptoms before receiving a diagnosis, Queensland researchers report.
Preliminary results from the Australian Genetics of Bipolar Disorder Study also show that more than two-thirds of patients are diagnosed with depression prior to bipolar disorder.
