Hi, there is genetic disposition for developing bipolar disorder and there are chances that your child has inherited these genes. Studies supported these theories about presence of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in certain families. It has been proven that people who suffered from either illness demonstrated a reduced ability to produce myelin, an ingredient of central nervous system. Myelin sheaths cover nerves and are found to be important for transmission of electrical impulses through the nervous system.
