Patient discussion about MOM.

Q. Is it reasonable that my mom was bipolar all these years and I wasn't aware of it?? She just started to speak about it lately. She's been taking pills since forever but they're migrane pills- or at least that's what she told me always. Lately I've been having dipressions. not very serious cause they pass after one or two days but hard to deal with when they strike. I thought maybe it could be something genetic and when I asked my mother about it she mumbeled something... could it be??

A. good evening coffeecup,
Welcome to the group. The only person who knows for sure if you mom has suffered from bipolar disorder is your mother. If you are worried about having bipolar disorder yourself you should go and talk to your doctor. Have you had any mood swings? Any show of mania? It is possible you are suffering from depression. Also do you recall your mother ever suffering from dramatic mood swings? Your doctor can refer you to a psychiatrist that would be able to give you an accurate diagnosis. Good luck, I really hope that bipolar disorder is not an illness you will have to endure. If it is however, please know that it is managable and you can have a full and happy life. There are plenty of ways to manage the illness. You can find effective ways on this web site and professionals will be able to give you tools to manage the illness.

Q. ) Hello everyone…..breast cancer is genetic to my family as my mom had one surgery. Hello everyone…..breast cancer is genetic to my family as my mom had one surgery. I know I am also on the risk but I am having migraine and I have been told that this reduces the impact of breast cancer….how come? Any clues?

A. Yes it is indeed found through some study that a migraine reduces the chances of breast cancer. The reason given was that as high levels of estrogen are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and women who suffer migraines appear to have low levels of the hormone, which may account for the reduction in breast cancer risk.
