Because patients with bipolar disorder spend more time in the depressed phase than in the manic phase, many receive an incorrect diagnosis of unipolar major depression and receive inadequate or improper treatment for it, leading to a dramatically increased risk of morbidity and suicide. Greater diagnostic accuracy is needed.
