This NSW historical cohort study correlated climate variables and mania admissions from 2000 to 2014. Admissions for mania were highest in spring, in the months of October and November. Manic admissions increased linearly over 14 years, with large variation across years. Seasonal variation was most distinctly associated with evaporation and temperature. Climate change was not associated with seasonal variation in manic admissions.
