The World Health Organization (WHO) clearly states the importance of psychological well-being in the definition of health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. However, in the community, the lives of people with bipolar disorders are often harsh and abusive. Till now, the rate and related information concerning verbal or physical abuse among patients with bipolar disorder at psychiatric outpatient clinics have not been well addressed in Ethiopian settings.    Methods  Data were collected by interviewing 411 systematically selected participants at outpatient department of Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. For analysis, logistic regression and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used, and  P   &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.    Results  The prevalence of abuse (verbal/physical) was 37.7%. Having two or more episodes [AOR 1.70, 95% CI (1.06, 2.74)], a history of aggression [AOR 3.06, 95% CI (1.63, 5.75)] and comorbid illness [AOR 2.21, 95% CI (1.25, 3.90)] were significantly associated.    Conclusion  The prevalence of reported abuse is high among patients with bipolar disorder, and it is important to remember the rights of patients during treatment.
