The exact ones are not known for certain at this time. Some evidence indicates serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine may contribute.
Serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are the most important neurotransmitters in the development of mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. Imbalances in these neurotransmitters can lead to symptoms of mood disturbances.
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but several factors seem to be involved in causing and triggering bipolar episodes: Biological differences. People with bipolar disorder appear to have physical changes in their brains. Neurotransmitters. An imbalance in naturally occurring brain chemicals seems to play a significant role in bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. Hormones. Imbalanced hormones may be involved. Inherited traits. Bipolar disorder is more common in people who have a blood relative Environment. Stress, abuse, significant loss or other traumatic experiences may play a role.
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.
Acetylcholine and dopamine are examples of neurotransmitters that play a role in controlling movement. Acetylcholine is involved in initiating muscle contractions, while dopamine helps coordinate movement and is associated with the reward system in the brain. Dysregulation of these neurotransmitters can lead to movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin are neurotransmitters in the brain that play important roles in regulating mood, emotion, motivation, and behavior. Dopamine is involved in reward and pleasure, norepinephrine in arousal and stress response, and serotonin in mood regulation and emotional processing. Imbalances in these neurotransmitters have been linked to various mental health disorders.
Serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are the most important neurotransmitters in the development of mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. Imbalances in these neurotransmitters can lead to symptoms of mood disturbances.
International Society for Bipolar Disorders was created in 1999.
There are many different neurotransmitters believed to be involved in mental ill-health. Dopamine is one neurotransmitter believed to be involved in Schizophrenia. Serotonin is another which is involved in Schizophrenia as well as OCD (this in no way suggests that Schizophrenia and OCD are connected).
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but several factors seem to be involved in causing and triggering bipolar episodes: Biological differences. People with bipolar disorder appear to have physical changes in their brains. Neurotransmitters.

Bipolar disorder is more common in people who have a blood relative Environment. Stress, abuse, significant loss or other traumatic experiences may play a role.
Bipolar disorder does not cause other disorders. However, people with bipolar disorder have an increased risk of simultaneously having or developing other mental disorders or substance dependence problems.
An imbalance in the naturally occurring neurotransmitters in the brain
Bipolar occurs at the level of the synaptic junction between neurotransmitters and receptors in the limbic system of the brain.
Approximately 60-70% of neurotransmitters are involved in mental health responses in the synapses of the brain. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating mood, emotions, cognition, and behavior. Imbalances in neurotransmitter levels can contribute to various mental health disorders.

Serotonin
depression and bipolar disorders
Mood disorders can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, biology, environment, and life experiences. Imbalances in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) such as serotonin and dopamine may also play a role in the development of mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder. Additionally, stressful life events, trauma, chronic illness, or substance abuse can contribute to the onset of mood disorders.
