Yes it is less likely in your 30's but it does happen!. As someone else said, you may have had it for ages and not realized it!. Quite a few people are diagnosed in their 30's and then realize they have suffered for most of their lives!.

A trigger or stressful experience in your 30's could trigger a mental illness!. It may be severe depression and not bi polar!. You would need to check this out with a psychiatrist!.

In my job, I work with a lady who developed schizophrenia when she was 32 which is really uncommon!. However, the good news is that a late onset bodes well for a good recovery!. :) Best wishesWww@Answer-Health@Com
