bipolar disorder is hereditary
Quote From: bpmom1 I was dxed bp-nos in Nov 01. Never even before medication did I treat my daughter ike that. I find it horrible that Dr.phil chose to show the mother with bp. Showing that mother does nothing to stop the stigma mothers with bipolar face if anything the effects of the show will only work to have people like me treated worse than ever before. I am questioned on a regualr basis "how can you parent if your bipolar" the anwer is simple I do it just like any other parent.
From what I see on the transcript i read the mother is absuive and is using her illness as an exuse for her behavior which is another thing that makes people with bipolar look bad.
that women needs treatment from a counsellor to address not only her abusive behavior but she has to take responibilty for her behavior and learn that she can learn to control her out bursts with proper coping methods.
I never recieved any proper therapy other than my dx and my meds becasue I moved cities yet I learned how to reconize my triggers and avoid them and cope with them so that I didn't act like that and if I can she can too. Yes bipolar disorder is hereditary or genetic or whatever word u want to use my father is bipolar I am bipolar my son is bipolar it is definitely hereditary many cousins and aunts suffer from it too
