Yes. Besides me, my sister, youngest nephew (her son), 1st cousin (paternal), one of that cousin's children, and a more distant cousin (maternal side) all have/had official bipolar diagnoses. My paternal grandmother very likely had bipolar disorder and others are thought to have bipolar disorder, too (my father and some think my maternal grandmother, and possibly others). The latter cases have/had severe issues, some of which I won't go into. My dad was recently hospitalized twice because of "hysterical behavior", alcohol issues, and suicidal threats. No one was able to find out what he was diagnosed with, but my brother did tell his doctors about our strong family history of bipolar disorder.

Q: How many of your family members know about your bipolar disorder?
