Can You Be Born With Bipolar Disorder?

This is not possible, bipolar disorder cannot occur at birth. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors can trigger bipolar disorder later in life. Even if the disorder is not congenital, it can develop quickly in people whose relatives suffer from it.

Studies have shown that even if genetics are important, factors such as stress, trauma and major life changes can trigger the development of bipolar disorder. It occurs in adolescents or early on in adults, but in some cases, symptoms can appear earlier. If you have a family history of this disorder, you should pay attention to the signs of the disorder and seek professional help right away if necessary.
