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.
Yes, bipolar runs in families and can be inherited.
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.
Yes, it often runs in families, though not everyone is affected.
INHERITED for A~plus
this is called a inherited trait. If it comes from one parent, it will not show and this is called a recessive trait.
Bipolar disorder affects between 1-1.6% of the population of the United States, but, unfortunately, it does run in families as it is known to be, at least partially, passed down through genetics. There is no data specifically on siblings but it is known that first-degree relatives, in general (which siblings would be), of people with bipolar I disorder have a seven times greater chance of having bipolar I than the general population. In identical twins, studies have found a concordance rate of between 33-90% in bipolar I. Additionally, offspring of a parent with bipolar disorder have about a 50% chance of having another major psychiatric illness.

An inherited trait is a charateristic passed from parents to offspring.
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
Recessive gene

i sure hope so. i am bipolar and i want to adopt because i was adopted

Oppositional defiance disorder is something one grows out of unlike bipolar disorder which is permanent. Bipolar disorder is accompanied by mood swings being on top of the world one moments and in despair the next and these moods can last for weeks without signs of improvement. There are other symptoms as well that can help a parent distinguish whether or that is the case. Bipolar disorder is very difficult to live with and should be diagnosed as soon as possible. The book 'the bipolar child' will tell you what you need to know.
The mental illness bipolar disorder is thought to be genetic (hereditary) however we don't know of a specific gene that is responsible for it. It appears that many genes must be present for bipolar disorder to manifest, likely, along with other risk factors. This has been shown in twin studies. While identical twins share 100% of their DNA, if one twin has bipolar disorder other other twin does not have bipolar disorder 100% of the time. The rate of concordance of bipolar disorder type one in identical twins is between 33-90%, according to Medscape Reference.According to Medscape Reference, first-degree relatives of a person with bipolar disorder type one have a seven times greater risk of bipolar I than the general population. Additionally, major mental illnesses all seem to travel together as offspring of a parent with bipolar disorder have a 50% chance of having another major psychiatric disorder. It's important to note that even siblings raised in different households still show an elevated risk, illustrating that bipolar disorder is not only due to a shared environment but also genetics.
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.
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.
Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.
Traits are inherited through the genes of parents to their offspring. Traits can be a genetic transfer.
this is called a inherited trait. If it comes from one parent, it will not show and this is called a recessive trait.
