The burden of mental disorders includes direct costs, indirect costs, and intangible costs. Direct costs are estimated by the amount of services used and the price of treatment. Indirect costs are estimated by the average reductions in potential future earnings of both patients and caregivers. Intangible costs are those that may be associated with the illness, such as social and family dysfunction, trauma or other problems resulting from the mental disorder.

What is the evidence for burden?

Moderate quality evidence suggests the per person per year direct cost of bipolar-related healthcare is between US$2,500 and US$5,000, and the indirect cost is between US$2,000 and US$11,000.

The post Incidence in males vs. females appeared first on NeuRA Library.

The incidence of bipolar disorder refers to how many new cases there are per population in a specified time period. It is different from prevalence, which refers to how many existing cases there are at a particular point in time. Differences in the incidence of a disorder can provide clues to its possible causes. The term “migrant” usually refers to first generation migrants – people with a foreign birth place, however some studies also include locally born offspring, or second generation migrants in their analyses.

What is the evidence for incidence of bipolar disorder in migrant populations?

Moderate quality evidence suggests no increases in the incidence of bipolar disorder in migrant populations compared to non-migrant populations.
