There is absolutely nothing you can do about heredity. At least not now. What good would it do to conceive a child with someone elses egg, especially if his wife will be the childs mother? Is she capable of raising a child with her disease? Do you think maybe he's being a little selfish? If he wants to avoid bipolar completely, he should not have children with this woman!

It can be managed, especially if the child is raised knowing the possible weakness, and trianed to identify triggers for both depressiona and mania (mostly depression for bipolar II). If they are medicated and are under the care of a doctor, there is no fear of bipolar II. I have bipolar II, and it’s nothing that is fatal.

It may sound screwy testing for insulin when the problem is brain chemical imbalance, however, insulin is the #1 hormone - because it can affect the production of all the other hormones. If they both test high for insulin (10 or more) then I agree, it will be very likely to be passed to the child. Blood sugar imbalances seem to be a dominant genetic trait. I only know of nutritional tricks that may assist his wife too, as well as start the babe on a lifelong course of controlling any bipolar tendencies.

I'm sure the percentage was a lot lower. In addition bi polar can be brought on by the environment which would mean the child would definitely not inherit the disorder. My children are still young ages 10 and 12 but neither show signs of depression or mania or mood swings. I'd have your friend do a little more research before any decisions are made.
