Can something make you bipolar?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Bipolar disorder seems to involve a combination of a certain genetic predisposition and stressors and life experiences. If you have not tendency to bipolar you are not going to become bipolar. On the other hand, if you have a some of the genes and have a stressful event, or a period with very disruptive sleep, that could trigger an episode.
