Most studies agree that bipolar disorder is not evenly distributed across the sexes. Schizophrenia is roughly equal but occurs for men before/during peak childbearing years, and for women happens after.
- Retric 3y ago> Most studies agree that bipolar disorder is not evenly distributed across the sexes. I don’t think that actually impacts the statistics here the way you think it would. Suppose 2% of the population had X. If 1% of women had X, ~3% of men would have X and therefore ~4% of couples would. Nailing down the differences in divorce rates, age of onset, differences in rates of relationship formation, etc are all worth considering. But my point was simply it’s significant not that I had calculated some exact number.
