Oct 28, 2026

Supplementary materials for a clinical participant survey provide participant disposition counts using two identification approaches (MES diagnostic algorithm and MES one-question method) and include an online resource containing a structured survey questionnaire. The questionnaire collects timelines to initial help-seeking, who initiated medical contact, symptom type at first visit, chosen department, initial diagnoses, time to correct bipolar diagnosis, perceived reasons for delayed recognition, social and economic impacts, estimated onset age, symptom presence across phases, reporting to physicians, and basic details about diagnostic institutions and prior care pathways.

FAQs

How are participants qualified for the main survey in the supplementary data?

Qualification is reported by MES diagnostic algorithm method and MES one-question method, along with counts of qualified and unqualified patients for each approach.

What does the survey questionnaire ask about in Q1–Q6?

It gathers the time from first illness signs to first professional guidance or treatment, who brought the participant to the institution, symptom types at first visit, the department selected, initial diagnosis, and the time elapsed between the earliest help-seeking and the correct diagnosis.

What reasons and impacts are assessed for delayed bipolar diagnosis?

Q7 asks the participant’s reasons for delayed diagnosis with bipolar disorder, and Q8 asks whether social and economic impacts occurred due to not being diagnosed earlier and not receiving appropriate treatment.
