i do have external events that trigger the depressive side of bipolar. BUT these are things that are residuals of my false beliefs. i use CBT to learn new skills to cope. so it can throw my bipolar our of whack but the causes are stemmed from my reaction to things. there is a dispute re chemical imbalance re bipolar. idk which way is correct. http://www.anxiety-and-depression-so...der_causes.php and http://bipolar.about.com/cs/bpbasics..._causes_bp.htm
