Bipolar disorder, a chronic illness characterized by shifts between states of mania and depression, affects approximately 2.8 percent of Americans in a given year.^1,2 Recent research has shown that bipolar patients are at greater risk for somatic illnesses than the rest of the population. Few studies, however, have examined the risk for medical comorbidities among persons with bipolar disorder across a range of conditions and body systems. The Thomson Reuters interactive maps below allow the user to do just that.

Thomson Reuters interactive maps present visual and numeric data on the incidence of disease and the relative risk of disease for bipolar patients.These maps are based on data contained in the 2006-2007 MarketScan^® Commercial Claims and Encounters Database.
