Bipolar teen?

Hi everyone, I am in shock. Yesterday my d and I met with my t and then I met with my t and I learned it appears my d has the seed of bipolar. Her father has bipolar, and self medicates. My d currently self medicates but she has an appointment with a p doc next week. She had one last month but she ran away so she didn't have to go. She claims she had an orientation at work and maybe she did, but she also didn't come home that night so she ran away too.
I am in shock. Nobody in my family had bipolar, I didn't know anyone with my bipolar as a teen that was that close to me.
I have PTSD and take bipolar medication so I understand that part. Right now my d and I are both diagnosed with mood disorder NOS but I and my t think she may have bipolar. Because she is so young, 15, dx at this point is something that is done with caution however she is showing all the outward signs.
I am kind of devastated in a way just because I feel like I passed on her father's bipolar genes so I feel responsible.

I'm glad she went to Therapy with you that's a great sign! Bipolar isn't the be all end all. I know it feels like it but you're doing wonderful getting D help now while she's still young. She doesn't risk kindling (if you believe in bipolar kindling). She can learn to work around her bipolar and still be successful. She can get accommodations to help her finish and succeed in school. I know genes feel like it's your fault but try not to fall into that. She has a name for her struggles now and a way to get help. Celebrate because now it gets easier. I know you were hoping she'd grow out of her issues but most people don't.

Kindling?
She hasn't been diagnosed yet.
She sees a p doc next week?
I was not hoping she would grow out of her issues. I knew they were serious. I've been getting her help since she was in grade school. I divorced her father before she started kindergarten . I had an IEP done for her in 4th grade and she does not have a LD or a conduct disorder. She has a mood disorder NOS at this point along with two other dx. Her main struggles right now are substance abuse and a nutritional disorder. She is a very high achieving student.
I think I misrepresented her in this post. I am sorry.

Hi she most certainly risks kindling. She's already overdosed on alcohol once. I'm sending this to my t and calling her doctor tomorrow. Thank you.
