Both men and women are affected at the same rate. There are few risk factors that reliably predict a significant increased likelihood of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Genetics and oneâs family history appear to both have some influence over the likelihood of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Differing rates of bipolar disorder have not been reported for different races.
Introduction. Bipolar disorder is a chronic disorder that affects approximately one per cent of the world's population, afflicting both males and females. The onset of bipolar disorder usually occurs between 20 to 30 years of age, with a second peak in the mid-40s for women.here is a personality difference between patients with bipolar disorder and those with unipolar depression. Studies have shown that patients with unipolar depression tend to have depressive personalities, even after 15 years' follow up (when patients were no longer sick).
