I believe that is the general consensus is that bipolar is genetic. Although there are people who believe life circumstances can either cause BP or at least worsen the condition.
It goes back to the debate of nature vs nurture.
MHO is that BP is genetic. But I also believe that life circumstances can either ease symptoms or exacerbate them. But I don't believe that circumstance can actually cause the disorder.
But BP is such a complicated disorder that we most likely may never know exactly how it works.
