Global estimate of the prevalence of bipolar disorders among homeless people
The prevalence of bipolar disorder in homeless people is remarkably higher than the prevalence of the disorder in the general population. Getinet Ayano tells us more about his study just published in BMC Public Health in this blog.
Worldwide, as many as 150 million people or roughly 2% of the global population are classified as homeless, and as many as 1.6 billion people (20% of the world population) lack adequate housing.
Homeless people are more likely than the general population to have mental disorders. Evidence suggests that the vast majority of homelesss people suffer from mental, neurological, and substance disorders including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder (BD), substance use, and personality disorders.
