Genetic link to BP Posted: 02-15-08 00:27am
I am Bipolar and my 1/2 sister has classic
symtoms and my youngest son also has
classic symtoms. My question is. How do
you feel about this. Do you think there
could be a possible connection of genetics
in this disorder.
The more I think about it the more
possible I think it can be so.
Think hard and see if there is anyone in
you family that you might have ignored
that could possibly be Bipolar and not
know it.

MsCarrie,
I just got on and saw this. There is
definite genetic dispostition to bpd. It
is, also, closely linked to alcoholism.
That is one question that is frequently
asked by docs during an evaluation for
bpd. So, you are !00% correct.

Sure is
enough. With me it is my mothers side.
There are actually three family members. I
forgot my 1/2 sister son ( same mother,
just different dad). Not sure about my
mom, she always looks depressed but yet
she has lung cancer, so I guess she has a
darn good reason.Both my 1/2 sister and I
have the same mother just different dads
also. I truly believe it stems from mom's
side of the family.
