:2thumbs:I know it varies from person to person but how many times in a lifetime do you estimate a bipolar I receives hospitalization. I know this one says around 25 is the first one! Any one know?

I meant age 25 is about the age of the first one! How many times have you needed hospital care?

I think it's probably hard to estimate that. Some people may never end up in hospital, some once or twice, others 50 etc. It all depends on the person, and how ill they may or may not be, and how well they comply with treatment.

STP is correct. It varies considerably from one individual to the next.

 

[Been there Done that]

I agree it depends on the person-I have been hospitalized 3 times this year. I am curious with the bipolar people reading this site, how many times have you been hospitalized? ( I am looking for actual people going through this...how many times for you...3 times , most of the time, 12 times)
