What happens if bipolar disorder goes untreated for a long time?
Can bipolar disorder form into a more serious mental illness? Also does anyone know why it seems that all the mental disorders involve chemical imbalances, like the dopamine hypothesis, and serotonin and all that. Psychologists always say its Genetics, though it really seems environmental factors play the biggest role. I honestly think that almost all personality, mood, and psychotic disorders are not cause by genetics, but the way people were raised and the kind of life they lead.

there are a couple of extremes that an untreated bipolar disoder could lead to; the person with the disorder could make some bad decisions and wind up in prison, or he or she could grow out of it with age and maturity.
talking about chemical imbalances is what they want to talk about because it is the drug dealers and chemists who are in charge of treating the disorder. psychologists are weak and ineffective intellectuals who have thrown their hands in the air and given up hope of being useful or doing good, so when they say "it’s genetic" what they are really saying is "time to give up, throw that child in the gas chamber, there’s plenty more where he came from, and now I’ll have a nice glass of wine please".
people are created by their environment, the life they lead, but also by genetics and personality. the way to properly treat bipolar disorder doesn’t seem to be with drugs. or at least, not totally. changes in environment and attitude can make a big difference.
