Show Notes

Bipolar is one of the UK’s commonest long-term conditions with almost as many people living with bipolar as cancer. 1.3 million people in the UK have bipolar, that is one in fifty people. It takes an average 9.5 years to get a correct diagnosis of bipolar disorder and there is a misdiagnosis an average of 3.5 times. 

In this podcast Dr Thomas Round, a GP and EKU Clinical Lead, talks with Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham, a GP in Manchester with a research interest in mental health and Professor of General Practice Research at Keele University, about the assessment and management of bipolar disorder.
