Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a common, recurrent illness that generally develops by early adulthood and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. 1 According to the Bipolar Commission, receiving the correct diagnosis of bipolar disorder still takes an average of 9·5 years. 2 Not identifying and appropriately managing cases of bipolar disorder early in the course of the condition is associated with adverse clinical and functional consequences for people, 3 and it is at this stage that serious damage is often done as a result of behaviour driven by hypersexuality.
