News: Older fathers linked with bipolar - BBC News

A Swedish study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry (Vol. 65, No. 9, September 2008) suggests a link between paternal age and bipolar disorder (BPD).

Older fathers are more likely to have children with BPD than younger fathers.

The study prompts a news item on the BBC News website (1 September 2008). BPD affects half a million people in the United Kingdom.
