Surprise, surprise. You come to a psychiatric-related website and you find a bunch of bipolar people. Hmmmm . . . what's next, going to ESPN.com and discovering football fanatics?
Seriously, though, the number of people actually diagnosed bipolar is bound to be much fewer than those who call themselves bipolar. The DSM criteria and other standards can be read to bring many people into the range, but an accurate dx is often rather difficult. My docs wouldn't dx it for over 3 years.
