Despite the need for correct diagnosis to allow proper treatment studies have shown that reaching a diagnosis can take up to ten years due to the lack of recognition of the broader presentations of BD.

Some dimensional approaches have been proposed aimed at improving the validity and reliability of psychiatric disorder assessments especially in conditions with high rates of comorbidity such as BD and Eating Disorder ED .
