Abstract
“Bipolar disorder is a global public health problem. Data have only recently become available regarding the economic costs of this illness…” (PE. Keck Jr. et al., 1998). Rational treatment adapted to each correct diagnosis of type and subtype of bipolar illness, using drugs and psychotherapy, contributes to saving money and preventing a lot of suffering. It contributes to reducing hospital length of stay and symptoms, and promotes better psycho-social functioning.
