About three people out of every
two hundred people have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. That means
between two to five million people in the United States have been diagnosed
with Bipolar Disorder and several still suffer the symptoms without being
diagnosed and receiving treatment. There are several conditions that
researchers have labeled to the cause of Bipolar Disorder. These conditions are
listed as childhood upbringing, environmental, trauma, drugs, alcohol, head
injuries, stress, and genetics. One theory is that mental disorders are
genetically pasted from the father, along with several other disorders
considering his sperm is living and a woman’s egg isn’t. If either one of the
parents has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder their unborn child has a ten
to twenty percent chance of genetically inheriting the disorder. If neither
parent has Bipolar Disorder most likely their unborn child isn’t at risk.
Wow. This is a blog I will definitely follow because I've often wondered if my son is bipolar. I thought this was a condition that people were born with, so I was very surprised to learn of the different causes of the disease. I look forward to reading more of your posts on this topic!
