[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 230042"] The genetic anticipation theory is interesting to me. I do think there could be more "environmental" trigger posibilities. For example, environmental toxins. Another example, is that our society just seems more difficult/tense/toxic for lack of better words. There certainly is a certain lack of compassion and in addition, a break down in the extended family. Sometimes I think this is why there seems to be more bipolar illness with adopted children. Just being "adopted" can be an "environmental trigger." Adoption can almost be viewed as a special need. The child feels burdened by this knowledge. Perhaps few truly understand this special burden. They go through life carrying this load. And then they might have additional grief from peers. If there is a genetic predisposition...well...it spells trouble from the onset. [/QUOTE]
