wow this topic sure spiraled up....
Life expectancy- for bipolar. Study show that we are 3 times liklely to become diabetics and suffer from heartdease... thatīs just 2 examples. I blame that on the Meds. What about the immence stressors on people with bipolar and anxiety, your bloddpresure up the wall, heart racing all the time etc. I asked my pdoc about what is the most common death of a person with bipolar and the answer was not suicide. He said- lifstyle-related deseacse, overweight, diabieties and heartattack.
The Meds put a lot of extra work on our liver and kidneys but I havenīt heard of anyone dying from organ failures... Back in the days Lithium could make you kidneys fail.
There is so much that is not known as a cause of death....
I want to learn more about it.
Take care.
You are much more liklely to die from lifestyle-deseace then bipolar/suicide.
