No: Your daughter's diagnosis does not mean that you have this disorder or other psychiatric conditions. If you have problematic symptoms, you would need to be evaluated separately to determine if you meet criteria for any disorders. Take care.

Bipolar: Not necessarily. If you're worried, get a psychiatric evaluation.
