A member asked:

My cousin's bi polar is affecting me mentally. could it be rubbing off on me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bipolar disorder: Is not contagious, but dealing with someone whose bipolar disorder is not well managed can certainly be stressful and challenging. You need to evaluate what you expect of yourself and how to not be pulled into your cousin's dysfunctional emotions and behaviors. A mental health professional could be very helpful in understanding your cousin and managing your own stress.
