buidhe placed the {{GAR request}} template on this 2012 listing with the edit summary "fails WP:MEDRS due to dated sources. Major updates needed". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- It was actually promoted in 2020, but some of the sources seem excessively dated. (t · c) buidhe 01:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- The text has not been maintained current. Some samples from this version:
- "Bipolar disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability worldwide" ... See WHO on 2019 disability
- However, a reanalysis of data from the National Epidemiological Catchment Area survey in the United States suggested ... cited to 2003, followed by ... A more recent analysis of data ... cited to 2007.
- And this confusing bit of "prose" in "Resistance to treatment" wasn't in the GA version; it doesn't appear the article has been watched, updated and tended in the three years since its GA listing, so there could be deeper problems. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:53, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Creativity and bipolar
[edit]Studies have shown that individuals with bipolar disorder are overrepresented in creative fields, such as art, music, and writing. Additionally, many famous and highly creative individuals throughout history have been diagnosed with or suspected to have had bipolar disorder. Christmasmudkip1 (talk) 18:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I'd appreciate seeing links to outside references for the genetics around bi-polar. Iamsuger (talk) 13:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Change "flucatuates" (misspelled) to "fluctuates". Mario I Rossi (talk) 04:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Remove the comedy/tragedy cartoon
[edit]I'm asking that we remove the comedy/tragedy icon from within the summary section. As a serious disease, which affects real people, it the subject shouldn't be reduced to a cartoon symbol. Similarly, readers looking for information to may have a diminished opinion of the content when presented with symbolism instead of professional facts, analysis, or history.
Suggest replacing this with an icon related to the health classification, such as described here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9791613/ 129.78.56.157 (talk) 00:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- This has been discussed several times and can be found in the talk page archive. There was a RfC in 2016 here. Personally I am not a member of the fan club for this image, but it does have its supporters.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
