The results of our study are consistent with prior studies suggesting possible problems with the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. With the greater number of medications approved for the treatment of bipolar disorder, along with multiple reports cautioning clinicians against under-diagnosis, it appears that over-diagnosis has become a greater problem than under-diagnosis.
Considerando la mayor cantidad de medicamentos aprobados para el tratamiento de esta condición, junto con los múltiples informes que advierten contra el subdiagnóstico, parece que el sobrediagnóstico se ha convertido en un problema mayor que el subdiagnóstico.
