Conclusions I Two large epidemiological studies identified M/Md in 1.5-1.7% of the population. In the Zurich Study most subjects with MDE were classified as having MDD and very few with BP-II, BP- I or M/Md. 45% of subjects with MDD reported manic symptoms and this group shows some signs of hidden bipolarity. Mania and BP-I were equally rare but differed in some respects: manic subjects tended to have a weaker family history of depression (50% vs 68%), were more often hyperthymic (44% vs 5%) but less often cyclothymic (22% vs 58%).

Conclusions II Associations with GAD and panic (58%) much stronger in BP-I disorder than in mania (17%), and a bit stronger with suicide attempts (BP-I:16%; mania:11%). Clinical studies suggest higher rates of psychotic symptoms, earlier age of onset, fewer episodes and better remission of mania compared to BP-I disorders. Deaths by suicide were highest in MDD and lowest in M/Md; the reverse was found for cardiovascular mortality. A diagnosis of M is best based on 3+ episodes. Much more research is needed on mania as an independent disorder. Our knowledge is still very limited.
