Causes of Bipolar Disorder: The Basics
Bipolar Disorder Causes
The exact cause of bipolar disorder has not been discovered, but there are significant genetic components.

Bipolar disorder may result from a chemical imbalance within the brain. The brain's functions are controlled by chemicals called neurotransmitters. An imbalance of one of these neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, may cause bipolar disorder. When levels of this chemical are too high, mania occurs. When levels of norepinephrine drop below normal levels, a person may experience depression.

sudden behaviour change and inability to understand yourself is the primary symptoms of bipolar disorder....so be yourself and avoid inheriting the ideas of others....

While the exact cause of bipolar disorder (manic depression) has yet to be determined, there is a great deal of scientific evidence that indicates a chemical imbalance in the brain. As for what causes this imbalance, there are a number of viable theories, which center on a combination of heredity and environmental triggers.

genetic factors play major role in mood disorder...
and social factors such as loss events such as loss of job,relative,money..etc..are associated with it.

there are many causes of bipolar disorder but the sudden change in the behavior is the major factor that lies in disorder....maniac and depression are its attributes.....

hi

i guess the major cause of Bipolar is Genetic.

Bipolar disorder is frequently inherited, with genetic factors accounting for approximately 80% of the cause of the condition.

If one parent has bipolar disorder, there is a 10 per cent chance that his or her child will develop the illness. If both parents have bipolar disorder the likelihood of their child developing the illness rises to 40 per cent.

Inheritability,stressful life events.The closer the familial relationship, the greater the susceptibility.Emotional or physical trauma, such as bereavement, disruption of an important relationship, or a serious acddental injury, may precede the onset of bipolar disorder.

the cause is mainly hereditary..
parent with hyper activity in their childhood..
when cousins marry can also be the reason
