Description
Bhavika Vajawat and co-authors measure bipolar disorder in India's adult population in this 2023 study. The disorder brings heavy disability, other illnesses, suicide risk, and a wide treatment gap. National figures for India were needed to plan care.
The data come from a national mental health survey of 34,802 adults across 12 states in 2014 to 2016, using a standard diagnostic interview. Weighted prevalence was 0.3 percent current and 0.5 percent lifetime. Men and city residents had higher lifetime odds. Current cases often came with tobacco use, other substance use, and anxiety disorders. The authors detail disability and economic impact as well, to guide policy and services.
