You do inherit it – chances are if your being treated for depressoin that its just the start of bipolar (depends also on how many other family members have it??) – but its not all that bad, at least your seeing someone so if it develops you can catch it early and stop it getting bad! BBest of luck!!
Its not for me to say but i think you should talk to a doctor about it as they know more about bipolar and the chances of in heriting a disorder of a family member.
good luck
I’d say about 19.6158%, based on the information you provided. With about 2% margin of error.
You don’t inherit that kind of thing do you? Are you just using that as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself?
Get outside and enjoy the sunshine! Life’s great!
