I'd say it's definitely both. I was born with the genes that cause bipolar in the females in my family, but my extremely dysfunctional upbringing made things 100 times worse. My problem is I can't get out of or get over the past bad treatment I've had. Any new stressors like a fight w/my bf can make it WAY worse.
