10. Someone with Bipolar Disorder Is 15 times More Likely to Attempt Suicide than Someone without It
This stat may be alarming, but it is true. People with bipolar are much more likely to attempt suicide at least once in their life. People that spend more time being depressed during the year and have a recent suicide attempt are more likely to attempt or complete suicide. Rather than being depressing or discouraging, hopefully this fact will motivate people with bipolar disorder to seek the treatment they need and deserve. Untreated symptoms only worsen.
