According to my understanding...take it as you want...we are genetically predispositioned to exhibit bipolar behavior but don't do so until triggered by stress or trauma or.... Bipolar symptoms on avg. (studies) don't get diagnosed for most until about the early twenties.
Due to this triggering affect, some believe that those who can be bipolar affected don't get triggered and live unaffected lives...but yet to pass the genetics along...true? I don't know.
I lived a trauma filled babyhood, so I've been affected since very young.
