 Re: ADD and Bipolar - Pass it on to kids? | |
Bipolar disorder can be genetically passed down to children. I remember reading in a study there is a higher risk if the father has bipolar. But there are other factors that contribute to it as well such as stress and environmental factors. My father was Bipolar but I was not diagnosed till I hit a really bad time in my life with stress and other factors. I was diagnosed very young with depression but not with Bipolar till I hit my early 20’s.
