They can't cause it, but they can totally exacerbate it. Pregnancy has done so many strange things to my mood disorser... I've been manic three times in the past eight months, which is totally not normal for me (usually I'll have one two-month long episode of full blown mania a year).

Also, when the hormones first kicked in at the beginning of my pregnancy, I was so depressed that I slept all day, consequently losing my job. The severity of it is what inspired me to take a pregnancy test, because it seemed weird to me.

So, yes. Hormones f with bipolar disorder. Big time.
