Absolutely: In the science there is much literature on family members acquiring, symptoms like bipolar disorder due to the stressful emotional and behavioral environment. Please, if you are feeling troubled please see their pediatrician to figure out if therapy is needed. Then again bipolar dorder is highly genetic. Either way explore w/ pediatrician symptoms you see. Take care.
