Bipolar disorder runs in my family as well. My mother was never diagnosed but I'm sure she suffered from it. My father died when I was very young and his family disowned him for marrying a woman with a black heritage so I never knew him or his side of the family personally. I have siblings who have troubles I believe their issues are due to mental instabilities but they don't seek treatment or even attempt to make changes. I have 8 children and two have bipolar disorder another has a learning disabilities ADHD.
I personally don't require any more proof to convince me that bipolar and other mental health issue is or can be hereditary. I just hope that society is making an attempt to except this fact and are taking steps to confront this issue so we can offer our children a fighting chance. Treatments are out there and if caught at an early childhood our children will have a fighting chance. They may not be cured of bipolar but at least they won’t have to waste half their lives causing personal ruin before facing their disease.
