But MDD is far more widespread than Bipolar. What is going on here? Are we just given to banter so much more?!?!
"Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychiatric disorder. It has a lifetime prevalence of about 5 to 17 percent, with the average being 12 percent"
"An estimated 4.4% of U.S. adults experience bipolar disorder at some time in their lives."
