Bipolar disorder can affect absolutely anyone. There is always a fine line between a person being well or ill. I think we all experience low moods (such as when a relationship breaks up or when we lose a loved one) or extreme highs too. Its when these High or Lows become extreme in response to life events that they become a disorder, or when the lows become depressive or the highs make you do things you would not normally do when your mood is norml that it becomes an issue.

∙ 13y agoMost people affected by bipolar disorder are those in their late teens to early adulthood (ages 18-25 roughly). The percentage of those who have bipolar late in life is considerably less, while the percentage of children is estimated to be from 0-3% due to debate over the diagnosis of pre-adolescents. Genetic factors can also come into play, as well as detrimental environmental factors.
