The NICE standards appear to be more restrictive in terms of who qualifies for the BP diagnosis. For instance, the standards require the manic stage to last between 2 weeks and 4 months. That is substantially longer than the doctors I've talked to would require in order to make the dx.Is this an organization that advocates more limited patient access to medications?
