I'm the only diagnosed bipolar in my family, but my mother was almost certainly BP and there's a long history of depression and alcoholism going back at least two or three generations. We were supposed to be the perfect family per my social-climber parents so there was no mental illness and no substance abusers . Yeah, right!
