Hello, Bipolar is usually hereditary and is known for "skipping" generations. It DOES NOT start out as any other type of disorder and progress into Bipolar
(example: HIV progresses to AIDS)
Can you clarify the "developed mental illnesses" please.
If in the future, your kid(s) "develop" or show signs any type of mental illness, there is nothing you can currently do at this moment. And worrying about it will not prevent it or make it happen. There is no "cure" or medicine that can prevent any future illnesses. So yes your doctor is correct, it is something to be looked into in the future, if any symptoms and signs arise.
