Bipolar disorder has a genetic component - it does seem to run in families, and if you have people in your family who have bipolar disorder, you have a higher chance to have it yourself. However, there is more than just genetics causing it - scientists haven't figured out the whole think, but they know it is more than just a gene or group of genes. Some people can grow up in the same family and have the same genes, but not develop bipolar disorder.

I believe bipolar is treatable;definitely has a genetic component, but if childhood ADHD isn't treated it turns into bipolar later in life. I have bipolar people in my family and had come to tdefubhese conclusions from experience.
Yes BiPolar is genetic and it is highly likely that someone who has BiPolar has a family member with the same condition. But not always i mean someone has to be first.
Absolutely. Schizophrenia patients may also suffer from Bipolar disorder and recent studies show the two psychiatric disorders may share a common genetic cause. Epilepsy is over twice as common among people with Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorder than those without either disorder.
A 2003 study found that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder could have similar genetic causes that arise from certain problems with genes associated with myelin development in the central nervous system.
Their is a genetic component to bipolar and other mental disorders that does run in families. While a history of bipolar disorder is a red flag, it does not automatically follow that it will pass from one generation to the next. it is quite possible for a person to be bipolar without any family history of the disorder.
The causes of bipolar disorder have not yet been precisely determined; however, genetics seem to play a large role. 80-90% of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder have a family history of either bipolar or major depression. However, this does NOT necessarily mean that someone with such a family history will inherit the genetic predisposition of the disease, or if they do, it will eventually develop into symptoms. The inheritance of bipolar disorder is not simple - it involves many genes, some of which are still being discovered and researched.
Bipolar disorder
Bipolar Disorder is not a disease - you cannot catch it or carry it or give it to someone else. There does seem to be a genetic trait that you inherit, so that if your ancestors were bipolar, you will have a bigger chance of having it yourself, but it is a chance and not a certainty.
Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing bipolar disorder. Even children of bipolar parents who do not develop bipolar disorder are at increased risk (compared to children who do not have a bipolar parent) for other psychopathology such as ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. Children with two bipolar parents are at an even greater risk of developing bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is generally caused by genetics.
The correct term is bipolar disorder. Some people call it a disease though.
