Can a mother pass on bipolar to her child?

Yes, bipolar disorder can have a genetic component, meaning a mother can pass on a predisposition to the condition to her child. While having a parent with bipolar disorder increases the risk, it does not guarantee that the child will develop the disorder. Environmental factors and individual life experiences also play significant roles in its onset. Overall, the interplay of genetics and environment is complex in the development of bipolar disorder.

If she is undergoing proper treatment for the severity of her bipolar disorder, whether that is therapy, medication, or some alternate, approved treatment, then yes. Anyone with a severe mental disorder can be a threat if untreated, though bipolar disorder is most often milder than other disorders, such as schizophrenia. Ultimately, it will be the decision of the mother, hopefully with the input of her doctor, family, and friends.
