Question 2

do undiagnosed bipolar parents lead to severely depressed offspring(from all the unreined in verbal abuse while growing up)?

Accepted Answer

Children of Bipolar: There is no greater time in our life than between birth and adolescence in which our brain stores data that it will pull upon later to determine what it is that we should find as dangerous or threatening. Since the unknown/unfamiliar is a universal danger, if the familiar was yelling than your brain stores that as the norm and if unrecognized might translate to adult behaviors in my opinion.

Abuse: Traumatic events leave consequences on victim, depending on extent and duration of abuse, such as mood disorder, anxiety, personality changes or post-traumatic stress.

Question 4

is it possible that someone with bpd act pretty normal with no rage or verbal abuse for 4-5 straight months?

Question 5

do you know if there are places like rehab for verbal abuse?

Accepted Answer

Your options: 'Rehab' typically implies a situation in which a person's behaviors -- usually dangerous ones such as compulsive substance use or eating disorders -- can be controlled in a residential setting for a period of time. If you need an inpatient setting to gain self-esteem, ask your physician or therapist -- but seeing how you do in the real world between help sessions may also be a recovery key.

Question 6

will childhood depression be caused by verbal abuse?

Accepted Answer

It certainly could: Contribute to it.

Question 7

could bipolar cause any forms of child abuse?

Accepted Answer

Bipolar Disorder: Does not cause child abuse. But, when someone is severely depressed or manic they may neglect children's needs or lack impulse control or feel more aggressive. So it could be a contributing factor.

Question 8

can child abuse lead to a person becoming bipolar?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can.: Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder on the basis of complex interplay between genetics, environment and experience/behavior. The severe stress of being abused as a child can certainly activate a genetic loading for bipolar disorder. In my experience a high percentage of persons diagnosed with bipolar disorder have been abused during childhood.

Question 9

help please! is bipolar disorder caused by drug abuse?

Accepted Answer

No: Drug abuse is bad. Abuse is by definition bad. But drug abuse cannot be blamed for everything. The symptoms that can lead to a person being diagnosed bipolar should be able to be distinguished from da. It may be difficult and they may co-exist, but they don't "cause" each other. Treatment is a good idea for either and certainly for both. Good luck!

Question 10

i have bipolar disorder, coudl it be caused by domestic abuse, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Bipolar Disorder : May have been exacerbated by or trigger by domestic violence/ abuse. That does not mean it was the cause. What to do? Are you receiving help for your bipolar disorder? If not, getting mental health assistance is very important. If you are living in a home with domestic violence -if you elect to remain, then it would be very important to have a safety plan. This would allow you to leave before it.
