I don't care about numbers, I feel it has become a blanket diagnosis for mental health issues in the U.S. and I live in the U.S. I was diagnosed in 1986 when it was known as manic depression after a 3 month stint impatient. A girl at my work recently said, "....everybody's Bipolar". This is also the general feeling of most people around me. Not really helpful for those seriously suffering like myself.
