In this analysis, Datamonitor estimates that there were a total of 8.5 million cases of bipolar disorders in 2010 in the seven major markets, with nearly half of these cases present in the US. Prevalence rates for bipolar disorders are expected to remain constant; therefore, any changes in prevalence will depend on population dynamics in the seven major healthcare markets.
