[QUOTE="klmno, post: 496731, member: 3699"] From what I read when my son suddenly burst into a difficult child, a trauma can trigger bipolar and even a couple of profs told me that. While I do believe that's parobably true, I also think PTSD and anxiety disorders along with trauma effests, PTSD- can often be mis-diagnosis'd as bipolar. I guess being cynical these days, I don't have faith that all MH profs are competent enough to look very hard at a diagnosis instead of going with what is 'popular'. I could say the same thing for the treatment approaches they recommend- some of them just go with whatever the current popularity dictates. My personal opinion as a layman only- if bipolar is in your genetic makeup, trauma or puberty, etc, could trigger it but if it's not in your genetic background, the trauma reactions are probably something else besides bipolar. Sorry- that wasn't much of a clear answer was it? [/QUOTE]
