Does bipolar disease get worse with age?
Untreated Bipolar disorder gets worse with age, in that the more “episodes” of illness you have, the more likely it is that you will have another. I have been bipolar for 16years and find it has got BETTER, but ONLY because I have learnt how to manage my triggers and symptoms better. Also, older people will have higher incidences of bipolar relapse, as they have more other health problems and as you probably know, physical illness can be a trigger for a bipolar episode.
