Of course. I was just pointing out that environment-trauma can trigger facets of bipolar illness, but without the genetic component, not the full syndromes of bp or sz illness in my experience. I just find it fascinating that epigenetics is likely more critical than mendelian stuff for us. And trauma, bad stuff, can influence epigenetics. Wacky. Very complex.
