It is different from prevalence, which refers to how many existing cases there are at a particular point in time, or over a lifetime. Incidence is usually reported as the number of new cases per 100,000 people per year. What is the evidence on the incidence of bipolar disorder? Moderate quality evidence suggests an incidence rate of 6.1 per 100,000 person years. Rates were lowest in Wales (1.4) and highest in Sweden (28.5)….
