Is lead poisoning related to bipolar or schizophrenia?

Lead poisoning has been associated with various neurological and psychological disorders, including an increased risk of developing mood disorders like bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Exposure to lead, especially during critical developmental periods, can adversely affect brain function and behavior. While not a direct cause, lead exposure may exacerbate symptoms or contribute to the onset of these mental health conditions in susceptible individuals. Further research is needed to fully understand the extent of this relationship.

Is bipolar disorder in one parent inherited by offspring?

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.


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.
