A member asked:
I've no family history of psychological illness, but i was recently diagnosed with type ii bipolar. how did i get this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bipolar: We don't know exactly how mental disorders develop; it's part biological and part environmental. Type ii bipolar is not as severe. I treat patients with type ii in my practice and many are quite stable. Find a therapist that will help you chart your highs and lows and help you track your moods. You can learn how to manage and cope with you ups and downs.
