Default This caught my eye too
Quote:
Full-blown mania mixed with full-blown depression (the only mixed state recognized by the DSM) may include perhaps 20 percent of us. But loosen the criteria to say two depressed symptoms in mania or hypomania, or two manic/hypomanic symptoms in depression and we are talking figures that range from one-third to two thirds of our population . . .
Bizi,
This caught my eye last night when I read it too.
So I had to read it again.

When he says population, he does not mean TOTAL population.
He means population of people with manic-depression.

So I guess he is trying to bring some of the uni-polar depressed people into the bipolar party -- he wants them to get better med treatment.
