What are the Long-Term Consequences of bipolar disorder?
Untreated bipolar disorder can have important personal consequences, including strained family relationships, marital break-ups, difficulty in relationships, and serious or catastrophic financial losses. For example, the divorce rate among people with bipolar disorder is two to three times higher than the rate in nonbipolar comparison subjects. In addition, people with bipolar disorder are twice as likely to have a deterioration in occupational status compared with unaffected people.
