Q. If a woman has a sister with bipolar disorder... If a woman has a sister with bipolar disorder [and no other family history of mental health problems] and she marries a man with no family history of mental health problems. Now anyone tell me what are the chances that their children will have bipolar?

A. There is always a chance when having children that they may develop some kind of illness at some point in their lives. You shouldnt base your decicion to have children on that fact. As time goes on there are better and more effective ways to treat illnesses such as bipolar disorder. There is a chance that there is a wider family history of bipolar disorder in the family and none of the others were diagnosed. Then there is a good possibility that the child may not get bipolar disorder. We can give you odds and statistics but the reality is if you choose not to have children you will never know. Knowledge is power, if you are aware that there is a history, educate yourself on the illness and you will recognize the signs at an early stage if they appear and be able to get your child the help they will require right away.

Q. Is bipolar a mental disorder?

A. Not only. The depression part is in major part mental caused, because you can't stop anymore to think about the trouble you have in life. But there are also all emotional smashes, all the traumata you did else have like to have lost your partner, lost your child, lost your job, experienced jail when you were innocent and many other things. They will affect your emotions, your thinking and at the end your body. Then you are good for an asylum, because you will not anymore be able to manage your body-behaviour. You will be in any way "out of control". What now the psychical crew want to call as disorder, types, numbers is their garden of pleasure. I prefer to keep the things as simple as possible. I hate the ones make the things more difficult as they are. Perhaps there is a reason, why I love the music of the group "Simple Minds"? So, don't you, forget about me...
