[quote=Anonymous]OP as a therapist, I know a lot of people with bipolar disorder. Since it manifests itself during the teen years and has a strong genetic component, there is no way I would bring another child into this. You do not know for certain that the child you have now will not become bipolar -- and there is nothing you can do to stop that. Sometimes medication works, but sometimes it does not. My friends with adult bipolar children are some of the most haunted and burdened with the expenses of their kids of anyone I know. You cannot depend upon your DH to be much help as bipolar gets worse with age. So you will be a much older mom with a bipolar DH, and two question marks. I myself would not take that chance. when you see it up close, it is sobering. have you researched this? PPs who are saying -- it will be fine! obviously do not know anything about bipolar illness.[/quote]
