How can a parent learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder?
A parent can learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder by looking at their own history. A genetic disorder is... da da da da! Genetic! so the traits of this disorder would be passed down through the generations. If both parents have family members with the trait or if the disorder is a dominant trait then there is a high chance of the disorder being passed down to the child. If the trait is recessive and only one parent has the genetic disorder in their family history then there are some pretty low chances of it being passed along to the child. Even if the trait is recessive, if both parents have the diorder in their history then there is about a 50% chance of the child having 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.

Are conduct disorders and behavioral disorders the same?
Conduct Disorder is a serious behavior disorder. It is a step beyond Oppositional Defiance Disorder which, itself, is a serious behavioral disorder. These two disorders are usually used to describe those 18 and under. Conduct Disorder needs psychiatric attention, cognitive behavioral therapy (seeing a therapist), and probably medication to prevent severe misbehaviors for the benefit of the patient and society. Prevention is key as many in prison have a history of Conduct Disorder.
