Psychological Disorders are found in the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Text Revised 4) and categorize many psychological health issues that have been specified as such. They are the presence of an abnormal "body" that has to cause distress, impairment in relationships, social life, and occupation.

It is very broad to just say psychological disorder as there are many forms. They originate from the mental health of the individual, where their cognition, behaviour, beliefs are thought to stray from the standard deviation of the population. Although they originate in the mind, there are several psychological disorders that manifest and have physical symptoms. An example would be Eating Disorders. They originate from a warped sense of self and body-image, their constant need and desire to lose weight, feelings of inadequacy cause them to have periods of starvation, abnormal behaviour with food, and those will produce physical symptoms of weight loss, anemia, low BP, lugano, tacychardia, etc.

Psychological disoders affect about 40% of the North American population at least once in their lifetimes. Depression, Anxiety are among the most common psychological disorders.

Can bipolar disorder cause transsexualism or vice-versa?

Psychology uses terms such as 'bipolar disorder' and 'transsexualism' to refer to specific symptoms, not diseases or disorders (despite the word 'disorder' in 'bipolar disorder'). As a result of this, they cannot possibly cause each other. However, there could possibly be disease(s) that lead to both bipolar disorder as well as transsexualism. An example is post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress could lead to either bipolar disorder or transsexualism or both. The truth is, psychology has not been sufficiently developed to answer this question accurately and with certainty. It is philosophy, and statistics, not yet a hard science.
