What causes bipolar type 1 disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a mystery: This is a disorder that tends to run in families, so we know there is some genetic component. But that doesn't mean if someone in your family has bipolar disorder you are going to get it. As far as we know, you can't 'make' yourself develop bipolar 1 disorder.
