1 The median age of onset for bipolar disorder is 25 years (National Institue of Mental Health), although the illness can start in early childhood or as late as the 40's and 50's.
Half of all patients begin seeing symptoms between the ages of 15 and 25, but it can begin at any age. There is no cure, but for many people the symptoms can be controlled with treatment. Bipolar disorder is sometimes referred to as manic depression. Some people may experience mood swings that are less extreme than a full manic episode, known as hypomania.
