Well, that's one, but there is the theory about the psychosocial, etc.
I just now spent too long reading about it and man, there are so many theories about the kindling effect, none of them even proven, all of them speculative. My brain started to muddle, wander and lose focus so I finally closed the pages and stopped reading. The one takeaway I did find intriguing, as I always have about this subject, is one or 2 assertions that the kindling effect has to do with some sort of connection between BD and epilepsy. See, that has always intrigued me because I do believe that bipolar moods are seizure-like. But even that continues to be a debate.
